[QUOTE="snow, post: 179727, member: 1056"] Brew,I agree to a certain extent,I here this often about gun fit and I see and here folks talk in gun shops about fit.feel right off the rack,one guy is 5'6 and the 725 he's handling feels awkward as an example,then he picksup a A300 and settles in not knowing how easy it is to fit the o/u so it fits like a glove and neither does the shop clerk,then another guy 6' comes in grabs the 725 and says,hey "feels great",then later another guy,big boy@6'6 picksup the 725,"ah man nice gun but my thumb is hitting my nose,couple shims and he's off. Point is "gun fit" off the rack is relative they all feel different depending on body makeup,a serious scatter gunner that wants to enhance his shooting whether it be targets or field can make it right and best done by the right smith. Exception is the weekend warrior type that does'nt shoot targets and kicks up a few roosters every fall and tags a few ducks/geese once in awhile,hell that guy can make anything work and go bang and if he drops a few,great if not no big deal. Good point on recoil reducer's as breach shotguns have more felt recoil just like pumps,most folks haven't a clue what to do about it. My point is shouldering a handful of guns off the rack won't fit everyone the same,most often they all feel good but a little tweaking they'll fit like a glove and point well. [/QUOTE]
