The people I associate with hunt with their vintage guns, and if a gun doesn’t Shoot where you point it , well, OG sold that gun, exquisite workmanship and all ! Cool but not practical!

I know the feeling, I have seen some nice gins that I would like to own, but they were nowhere close to fitting me. I had no issue taking a rasp and sandpaper to the comb of my Blaser clays gun, but it just wouldn't seem right to do that with a classic English stocked SxS. And with such a slim stock to begin with, taking off that much material might make it look a bit odd. And as much as I liked my A400, I just couldn't shoot it as well as I shoot my SX-3, so the A400 was sold, and I kept the SX-3.
