cast

[Doctor Lecter]

is it just me or do most mass produced sporting guns have very little or no cast  on or off these days ?    im r/h  with a fat face  quite broad (mess really)   but guns are virtually straight  stocked .  I like a bit of cast off  feels good and right eye straight up the rib  ,  what's the remedy  .?

You can get a stock man to alter the cast. There are several ways to do it so that you can look down the middle of the rib. You can have some wood taken off the face side of the stock, you can have the stock bent (but they don't always stay bent!) or you can have an adjustable comb fitted! Any good stock man/gunsmith should be able to sort you out. It's not always possible to bend some stocks apparently, due to the stock bolt assembly, well that's what I was told anyway!

or you could go down the adjustable stock route

There's an echo in here.............in here..... in here..... in here :biggrin:  

Joking aside, I have also heard that Brownings are notorious for "not staying bent" if you have more cast put on the gun. Again i don't know if that's urban myth or true. But either way it seems the logical option would be to get an adjustable comb/stock fitted.

Or P/X for a gun with an adjustable comb, a lot of Browining Ultra's have one as standard.

Im lucky in that department as factory stocks are to short for me so I add a big recoil pad ( you would be surprised how much extra cast the extra length give you) but it will lower you slightly too, try packing out your recoil pad and see how it feels, it might not be for you but it offers a Quick fix

I think we must share the same physique, had my gun hot oil cast by over an inch and it felt great to shoot. The cast did creep back slowly to around half an inch but it was still a vast improvement. Bit of a squeaky bum time having it cast as you just don't know if the wood will take it.

I you can bend the stock on a side by side, because there no stock bolt holding the wood to the action, But best go for an adjustable comb, with an over and under, in my opinion.

Dr Lec. With your recoil issues and stock cast question why don't you book a session on a pattern plate and see what the gun is doing.
