Default It's official. My 870's don't fit me anymore!!

The first 12 guage I ever shot was a remington 870. They have always fit me beautifully. I guess I've made the mistake of exercising too much over the last year. When I bring them up they cork clockwise so I end up looking down the bead at a quarter past one.

Any suggestions (other than eat more bacon and lay off the weights)?

You'll have this issue with any rifle or shotgun if your upper body went from mush to muscle, now you got to get yourself trained to shoulder the weapon and creat a muscle memory through practice, wait until,you go to swing a golf club, bat or throw a ball...my lats get in the way

Graco or Morgan adjustable buttplate will fix this.
