Please do not take my statement on the subject as any sort of law. It is just my opinion based on the simple question of how is an O/U any different from a SxS (except for one has the barrels oriented the wrong way...)? I mean, both have sighting planes that the eye needs to get down one way or another, and that is dictated by stock dimensions. That place the gun to your shoulder, your face to the comb and your eye down the rib.

I have once or twice before heard the argument for the “fitting” between the two being different, and why. But I cant remember what it was.

And no, I do not do gun fittings. I know the basics of it and what changes are supposed to make the difference in patterning. But when it comes to stock making, I just make what I am told to make. Be it dimensions based on a previously done fitting, or taken off another gun that the owner feels they shoot well.
