I have read many times how much difference the "fit" of a double rifle makes. I thought you guys were full of it and that fit would not make that much difference. Well the LOP on my K-Gun was too short. The first time at the range I shot it 15 times and it was all I could take. I added a Limbsaver slip on pad that gave me another 1" of pull. The next trip at the range consisted of 15 more shots. I could have easily shot it 100 times. There was a night and day difference in felt recoil. After the Shoot and Hoot it will go to JJ for stock work. | ||

Mike I did some work on my 470, after the last shoot and hoot. I added 3/8" of lop, and sanded in some recoil relief, and adj the check piece. Riche's 550 was a lot less punshing than the stock merkel for me. 400 nitro showed me the stocks there that were of the correct shape, I hope to be there, you can shoot my 470 to see if the changes I made will help you.
