Eric, I have the same concern with my SS12 dac 1 3/8 st. stock shooting high. While it's okay for upland birds, for duck and geese over decoys, it's not. Obviously you were happy with how it shot, were you happy with the pitch and how it looks? Also, can you tell me whether Dan Morgan had to refinish the stock? If so, did he refinish the forend too? Any other details would be helpful as well. Many Thanks.........Jerry

Jerry,
I shot the gun twice now, on the skeet field as described and at barn pigeons with great success. At this point I am very satisfied. My observation is that a fraction of bend at the grip gave me the 1/8 to 1/4 I needed in the drop to correct the high pattern. I also could see no discernable disfiguration in the checkering etc and definitly no refinish needed on this piece of work. Gun on close inspection and magnifying glass looks the same. Others may have different experiences. I experienced no slip in the pitch. It was a straight stock and I understand that a pistol grip might be less cooperative. All this is observation as I am no SxS expert. I am going to watch it as I understand that they can tend to have a tendancy to slip or bend back. The tang also is bent to accomodate the change. I will visit Dan Morgan in the next few weeks and pick up the topic again with him.
Good luck!

Thanks Eric, I appreciate your feedback. Let me know if you gain further insights into the process after you talk with Dan Morgan. I'd be happy with an other 1/8 dac to 1 1/2 dac overall. Best......Jerry

Eric,
Two bits of advice I have received from others:
1) If a gun shoots high, try squatting a little as you shoot.
2) The other is the three most important elements of good shooting is: Gun Fit, Gun Fit, & Gun Fit.
Best Fishes,

Thanks steve! Did the advise on squatting come from the same sportsman book that says you have to hold your mouth just right to catch a fish?
As far as fit goes I, like others who accumulate guns, now look closer at those guns of mine that are quite nice but just don't fit the way they should. Maybe change them or move them on for guns that do. I might require supportive counseling to do so though.
