I can also shoot guns with different dimensions, but I shoot a properly fitted gun much better.
I had a gun fitting with an RBL at Michael Murphy’s. This gun did not fit me and it was obviously clear after a few shots at the patterning plate.
Stock was shortened, and stock bent to increase drop and added come cast on. It’s a real killer on wild birds.
I bought an A-10 later on but failed to have the stock made to the same dimensions as the RBL. Thinking that the A-10 being an O/U would need different measurements. I thought it would be a waste of my money to have the stock built to duplicate the RBL.
Got the A-10 and realized after mounting the gun and shooting it one season it did not fit me.
Had the Turkish walnut stock bent on the A-10 but could not get enough drop. Had the comb worked down and all the measurements very close to the measurements of the RBL and it became a complete different gun in my hands. For me using the same measurements on a SXS and a O/U the fit was the same.
I am sure that most of the major gun manufactures would build your SXS to your requested measurements. Also why many developed Try-Guns.
It’s my opinion Just like other sports a proper bat or golf club makes a difference.
