2-1/2" pitch?

[Double Lab]

I agree with Dave as I would rather have more drop at heel for shooting birds and clays and it really does'nt bother me as I can adapt. Dean was also right in that the main purpose of pitch is to keep the gun in the pocket of your shoulder and prevent the gun from flipping up upon firing. If the pitch was zero the toe of the stock would dig into your chest with each shot. For me the perfect stock has either no drop [a straight comb] or a monte carlo type with more drop at comb than heel. This tends to pull the stock away from your face upon firing and allows me to really stay with the gun. But that is what I like and if you ask 10 shooters you will probably get at least 9 different opinions.
