Bob,
I personally would not shy away from a nice gun that fit me well especially at a good price. I had Russ Bickel tighten a 16 gage that I put a lot of rounds thru every year and it came out great. This year I plan to give him the gun I will shoot in the Parker vs. L.C. Smith Challenge right after the competition is completed in hopes of having it back for the Vintage cup event. I don't think there is a number you can put on how loose is to loose. I think its personal preference but do believe that once it gets a little loose continued shooting will cause the condition to worsen at an increased rate.

I agree completely with Larry on these points and Russ Bickel re-jointed my DH 12 as well and I couldn't be happier with the results.
