I had Keith Lupton at the Pawling Mountain Club determine the optimum stock dimensions for me shooting and adjusting the dimensions of a try gun. It was worth it. My optimum drop at comb was 1 3/8 inches. It's probably not coincidental that I have done so well at grouse with a 20 bore VH with a drop at comb of 1 3/8 inches. Keith is now long gone from the Pawling Mountain Club, but he was a very knowledgeable English trained gentleman.
