Length of pull

If fit didn't matter I would have bought those size 13 boots that were for sale here.
Unfortunately I wear size 10 1/2.
I might have made them fit with an extra pair of socks and newspaper in the toe but I wouldn't have been happy.
I have lots of shotguns that don't fit me properly and would never alter them. These are usually quality guns that I shoot and just shoot them knowing that it wont be the most accurate shotgun I will use that day.

I am not familiar with how crossover stocks are made but having observed a number of them I had assumed that the wood was bent, and bent along with metal adjustment. These stocks have more cast than all of the stocks I had bent to my specs.

When shooting dove or pigeons I am not so concerned with fit. After all when shooting Eurasian dove and pigeons if I miss a bird, 10 more will be flying in shortly. I can easily shoot a flat of shells on each trip.
Quail hunting on the other hand Im not sure I have shot up a flat of shells, over my dogs during the whole season.

When shooting quail over my dogs I want a gun that seems to just naturally comes up and shoots where I am looking, which is the bird scooting through the trees.
After all I hate to disappoint my dogs.

I agree with Brian it is important that you know your measurements. You can alter shooters or buy collectors that are close to your dimensions. I have passed on many desirable guns because I knew I could not shoot them well as they would not fit. The collectors that fit are shooters as well. If you don't shoot them I believe they own you instead of the other way around.

Amen to that!
