I have encountered cast on 3 guns, a GH and two PH's. The two PH's are a decade apart, 1896 and 1906, both 30 inch 12 ga guns, and both have a twist in the buttstock so that there is about 1/4 inch cast off at toe, and about 1/8 inch cast on along the comb at heel. Both are comfortable to me as a thin-faced right hand shooter. TPS doesn't really deal with cast, but I remember an earlier thread and a PP article on a survey of drops, and there is a recent survey of pitch measurments in PP also. Perhaps we could do a similar survey of casts if enough people have encountered it. Just a thought.
