I take a different gun after doves each day. When I only had a few guns after quail it was a Beretta AL2 with a one inch pad added. Now I shoot whatever gun I take and don't worry. Some I shoot better than others. A Beretta 686 does the best followed by an A5 Browning. Both have 1" pads added. But all of the American Doubles like a Trojan, SW, NID, Model 24, Nitro Special, etc. all resemble each other with about the same drop, LOP, etc. I just add a slip on pad. I had rather enjoy a different gun and not worry about altering each one. I was always told to put the gun in your hand and have your finger on the trigger, and the length should go to the crook of one's arm. Maybe an old wive's tale, but it seems to work as all standard stock over the counter guns need a pad for me at 6'2", and the pad also adds drop for me due to the extra buttplate to shoulder area.
