Monte Carlo ate over diagnosed and cause more issues than there worth. They’re for a specific body type mainly female
point taken , but as a prescription glasses wearer I'm led to believe the monte carlo stock keeps your head up eyes looking through the centre lens through the sweet spot at the clay ? anyone out there using a monte carlo ?
This can be achieved in many ways. Head up also puts the spine up straight and causes issues keeping the line whilst rotating
It’s a drastic step, having a stock made just because you don’t like the look of a raised comb but yes, a Monte Carlo stock may suit although it does depend upon your body shape and how you mount the gun. Depending upon the degree of drop they do help position the recoil pad flat to the shoulder and lift the head, keeping the eyes level. Given their shape and size they tend to be better suited to a shooter that pre-mounts the gun although you’ll find several OSK shooters that use them very successfully.
The question then , is this a stock problem or a specs problem . £200 will get you a pair of ZS shooting glasses to your prescription from JH Stewart - Bisley Optician . They have an adjustable bridge , and the the lenses will be made to suit . You will look right through the middle when the gun is mounted .
yes i wear the zeiss . very good specs !
yes it dose ticks many boxes !Get it fitted first!
But no harm in looking at Guerini's in the mean time!
Does the Allsport catch the eye?
This is one of shooting's myths. When I last changed guns at the height of the last raised rib craze and still reffing sporting shoots I was able to try numerous guns and in virtually every configuration on the market. At no point did I find my head more upright as they were all set to shoot like standard sporters. I concluded that gun fit is all about seeing the right picture and not about how high your rib or comb is. There may however be some benefit with a Monte Carlo by having the comb and rib parallel.
I’m not sure a very high rib would offer any advantages when it comes to OT.
This is my good friend Saeed, he’s a skeet shooter. This is his fathers side by side adapted for one of his crazy ideasYou can see the bore centre is in a straight line back to the shoulder thus no muzzle flip. You can also see that his eye/rib relationship is pretty normal. I realise it's not an OT gun but there was a French competitor at the Olympics with a similar set up on an O/U.
Yep, agree with all of that.You can see the bore centre is in a straight line back to the shoulder thus no muzzle flip. You can also see that his eye/rib relationship is pretty normal. I realise it's not an OT gun but there was a French competitor at the Olympics with a similar set up on an O/U.
