O/U to SxS gun fit advice needed

[Andy]

I think it's my original post that is being interpreted wrong, and it's probably my wording. I never intended to restock a classic gun for the sake of fitting it to me just to shoot it. I was trying to find out the most direct way of taking a current set of fitting parameters, which I have, and see what is out there that will translate to a shootable gun and allow me to hit a barn. For example does LOP on a single trigger roughly translate to the front of a DT? Is cast much different SxS compared to O/U. I think I've gotten the answer already and it's been helpful, and I thank the many PM's I've received which have been invaluable. Great forum.

Sure you could possibly find one "close" but unless one is willing to re-stock, modify the stock or make some other kind of modification to a vintage gun what good is a fit? Personally I don't like messing with nice original guns so I have to "try" to adjust to whichever gun I am shooting. Could I have better results with a gun re-stocked to my fit? Possibly. Am I willing to do that? No.
