I'm looking for a brand that has 20 guage O/U's that have up to 2" of drop at the heel to fit a person with a long neck. The Stoeger and the Mossburg don't have enough, neither does the Baikal.
Any suggestions from long neck shooters. It would be used for Trap 95% of the time and Sporting Clays the other 5%.
Thanks
 
You're going to shoot trap with a 20 ga?

One option is to add an adjustable butt pad. Many shooters use them to get a more head upright mount.
 
I just checked in at a few of the more popular manufactures sites and found that for the most part they are dimentionaly geared to the average man. Have you considered buying a shotgun with or having an adjustable comb installed. You can usually get one installed for $300 or so. They are adjustable foe height as well as cast.
Cheers/luck, John

If you are using it for Trap 95% of the time why would you want a 20 ga.? Find an older Citori with an adjustible Comb.
 
The shotgun is for the 5' 6" 20 something daughter who finds a 12 guage too much. She has to place the butt up high on the shoulder so that the 20 guage leaves here banged up. The adjustable butt plate may be an idea I haven't thought of.
 
I shoot my trap guns with only a couple inches of butt plate on my shoulder also and no problems after the first few outings. It's always something to get used to. Nothing different then throwing a baseball or skating at the start of each season, once your "broke in" everythings good.
I also try and buy my trap guns with a straight stock as opposed to a more traditional Monte Carlo stock.
 
The beretta 391 I had in stock had a adjustable stock it was 12, but a 20 should be the same , look for a morgan pad also and a draw knife would work
on a stoeger or such.;)
