Ha ! ha !
A very good point, I think we have far too many new 'experts' who know far more than us golden oldies.
I would think that 95% have never shot a gun with a 'Monte' and of course with the advent of adjustable combs it may be said that 'Monte's ' are redundant.
Interestingly , have many of you seen guns with adjustable combs with foam, cardboard , and electrical tape wrapped around?
I have seen a good few including a few shooting school guns set up the same?????
I have also noticed the vast numbers of competitors who have 'grazed' through Guerini's, Blaser, Zoli, Krieghoff , or whatever only to be seen later with their old gun.

Les,
That is because Krieghoff didn't know how to make a stock until they brought out the Parcour, whose stock is a copy of Haggis Hartman's West Country Guns' alternative wood which was copied off a Miroku ( all allegedly true :???: ).
Yes, many earlier Krieghoff's did have a Monte Carlo style stock.
Les as a matter of interest , have you bettered your scores with the K gun? compared to the Miroku !

Me too
Pete, I no longer have a k80 mate! I've had neck problems for some time and I'm trying this head up lark, seems to be beneficial. So I'm using an MX2005, very high stock and very high rib. As for Miroku, well it's unlikely that I will ever better the scores I shot with a Miroku, I'm a lot older now too, so I'm going for comfort these days Pete!

Well I've just changed to a blaser with an adj monte and I love it! Much easier on my neck.
Everyone !
Sincere apologies for not realising that Les now shot yet another German abortion !
But he will eventually realise the error of his ways and bring out the Miroku as his last salvation.
Please , please , please all of you get a grip and listen to the famous words of my anorexic good friend gorgeous George Digweed.

Have you tried a FULL Monte though ???
If not, better hurry up, it's starting to get colder. :brr:

Adjusto combs are not really the same as a monte carlo. I have four adjustos and they all have the top of the pad at different heights relative to bore center and I can switch them around on the same gun and when the comb is set to the same height relative to the rib they each feel very different.
Gun fit and a comfortable stock are maybe more complicated when you realize all of the variables beyond LOP and comb height and how they can have a noticeable effect on your shooting.

not sure George ever said that salopian or was it taken out of context ah well I digress .
Dr. Lecter,
George genuinely did say that , and if you plot his career you will see he has shot very very well with Miroku, Browning, Parker Hale, Beretta , Kemen and Perazzi + I would think many many more.
I would add that he is a very loyal ambassador for Perazzi who recognized his ability and talent and have reaped the benefit of their association with him.
What is the amount of money spent on Perazzi guns since George started to win with one???????
