Looking for some wisdom here please.
I have a Beretta 12g over and under that I rarely use, but with the game season approaching I’ve been thinking about getting it out of the safe.
Essentially it occasionally gives me a whack on the cheek. Now I have had two fittings – one at West London and one at the Fenns and bar changing the recoil pads to make it a tad shorter, I have been advised that the fit is fine, and I shoot ok with it (60-70s at monthly registered clay shoots) but still after every session I use it I come back with a small lump on my face.
Shooting gun up compared to game gun down seems to make little difference, leading me to think that my mount is ok.
So speaking to a few pals about what it could be, I am left rather confused with the differing opinions;
• Im lifting my head – no idea how to solve that
• Comb on the gun is just too high
• Comb on the gun is too low causing it to rise
I do clays for fun, but will admit that I do lose concentration due to queuing 15 minutes to get on the stand.
Essentially I bought it as a game gun for life, but after a couple of years of being smacked around by it im waning. I have have someone interested in buying it and so I don’t know whether to sell and start again it or have it totally fitted.
Any advice gratefully received.
