Robin, if you are confused by the different barrel lengths, just measure the pitch from the same point on each gun. It was asked (by Robin) how we are to use this information. Well, I think we will use the information derived from a gun that feels good and that we shoot well to determine the pitch we would prefer on the next gun we choose to modify. However, that isn't neccesarily true because I own very comfortable guns that have zero pitch and I own very comfortable guns that have three inches of pitch. The only modification I have ever made to the butt of any gun to make it shoot better is to put some sticky stuff on it to keep it from slipping on the second shot. Any deficiency of length or pitch I have taken care of by adjusting my shooting style. Unlike Chuck, I have never had a competition gun that needed an adjustment in pitch to compensate for excessive recoil or cheek slap. Either I am lucky or all of my guns have similar pitch. Actually, I'm just fooling with you because all of my comp guns seem to have about 1 to 2 inches of pitch and all feel the same.
