I'm bird hunter first......wild birds that is. The action is fast and the hunter has little time to think about his gun mount, it must be fluid. That said my first line hunting guns have dimensions that fit me. I have a 5'x5' steel plate here at my home. I test my guns to see point of aim when shouldering and shooting the gun like in a hunting situation. Then adjustments can be made if needed. I have tried hunting with guns that have a little more drop than I normally shoot.....yes I shoot the roosters legs off. 1/4" makes a big difference at 35 yards! If you shoot sporting clays, gun fit is less important as most shooting is done with gun pre mounted....thats cheating in my book! Anyway thats my take on stock fit. One exception to most of this....if you only shoot one shotgun you will learn to shoot that gun fairly well. Its when you swap guns is when the trouble really starts! SXS Ohio
