The only thing about some of the comments that is correct is that both methods will work. Length of stock and drop at comb or heel don't make any difference at all, using either method. The length of the barrel also . .makes very little difference. At a two inch pitch, the difference between pitch on a 26" and a 30" barrel is about 1/4 inch. Dean is the only poster who came up with the correct factors that affect pitch. We can start to use the angle of pitch method (which Austin claims is quicker??) when we all own combo gauges and can find our protractors. Even Chuck didn't own a combo gauge until he won one. I will never own one. Quicker than sliding a shotgun against a door frame?
