I wasn't going to gloat.....

I'd set it up that your eye is in the right place then shoot some clays, I'd only go to the pattern plate to confirm a problem if I found one, a straight away target can tell you a lot about where a gun is shooting, a pattern plate is a fast way to lose confidence in a gun

beautiful timber on that gun.

One thing I'd do once I'd got the comb set is make a shim or spacer (bit like a feeler gauge) for easy resetting if for any reason (like fiddling) you want to get back to your standard setting. I'd do that for anything adjustable although I think its much better to set and forget.

I think its much better to set and forget.

If only that were possible

I'll find out later this on year, one of this year's plans is to re-stock my 525, then the stock will have cost more than the gun  

(well not really ......I hope :fie:  )

I was pretty good about only doing essential adjustments to my 1913 Supermatch but then there's a huge difference between shooting a single round at a static carton the size of a full stop at 50m and a moving target with a shot cloud the size of a dustbin.
