Stock issue
I have a reproduction 12 gauge that I really like and bought for a general use gun. Has Briley chokes which in this situation doesn't concern me as it is not a collector gun and hopefully will be shot a lot in a few situations - field, swamp and clay birds. Thing is it shoots high. I've patterned it repeatedly with various pads etc and I get about 75/25, 80/20 high at varying distances. I have a few very knowledgable friends counseling me and their verdict for me is that I have a lovely trap gun or I need to bend the stock. I really want to get this gun to fit and shoot flat. I will be visiting a competent stock man with it. Was wondering just how much this will change the gun with bending of the wrist (straight no PG), bending the tang, disrupting the finish etc. I know value from what I paid is significantly diminished but I'll take my licks as it is still a lovely gun that I want to keep and shoot a lot. I did buy it and choke it for waterfowl and steel but like someone said here on another post " it kills at both ends." Wicked recoil. Live and learn.
Thanks
