I have had 2 guns restocked to my dimensions and I have another in progress. To go further, all 3 were also taking a pistol grip stock and converting them to a straight stock. In every case the original stock had been shortened/cut to the point and I felt no guilt restocking and making the gun more me.
For Reference these are the guns:
VH 0 Frame 28ga 26" barrels (which I just shot the other day and was loving it)
PHE 0 Frame 20ga 28" Twist barrels (this one is a dream and looking forward to hunting with it this year)
VH 1 1/2 frame 16ga 32" barrels (this one is in progress and I am really looking forward to it)
I agree with Victor, you end up with a gun that fits you perfectly that you are now excited to use. I am not concerned about the impact on collect value, restocking got these guns looking good and back in the field.
Quick Edit: I will also say that I did choose a nicer grade of wood that would have come with the gun originally and was happy with that choice
