New Adjustable Stock - Looks Interesting!

I would be willing to bet that is not cheap. It's too bad they all look like leg prosthetics.
 
Personally I think they look better than the precision fit stocks I have seen but I still cant get used to the sight of them. To me a target gun should have real wood, nicely figured real wood. With all the systems available out there today you can install goodies galore on your stock and have a great fitting, pleasant shooting shotgun that still has plenty of ### appeal with a wood stock......IMO!:)
 
sort of looks like someone took a perazzi glove grip and a precision fit and forced them to mate! I love the perazzi glove grip and hate the precision fit... so I am torn!
 
Ever since I started shooting getting a gun has been a matter of going into a store, throwing the gun to your shoulder to see how it feels and taking a chance if it felt OK. I know there have always been situations where guys were willing to spend truly horrendous amounts of money, get their fitting, then wait 3 years and get their Purdy or whatever... They are either aristocrats, rich, or willing to dedicate a much larger part of their life and finances to competition shooting than most and I don't have any problem with any of that. But most of us, including me, aren't any of those three things and we like to shoot and compete without giving too much away in the equipment department. So, for me, there is a real attraction to buying something that is an odds on favourite to work with a reduced chance of having a useless piece of steel in your hands. There is nothing uglier than that and ###y curves in a piece of wood definitely comes second.
 
Is this better ...

Just bring the bag of cash.
 
In my opinion you buy a quality gun like a Krieghoff because it fits and is built to not have objectionable recoil, I would not do anything like that to one of mine.
 
Here is the exploded view.

$4,500 US, which includes the nice wood. There are a couple of makers of this type of system. A good friend of mine has one on his K-80 Trap Special Super Scroll. I also know of another fellow with one on another K-80.
 
Just goes to show you that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I'm not crazy about either of them from an esthetic point of view. The first one looks like the terminator after it lost its skin. The wood on the gun in Beretta's K80 picture does look good to me, but the whole thing just looks too stylized and fancy. Maybe it is because I've always been betrayed by beautiful things or things that have seemed immediately attractive ;)! Nope, take it out on a date first or even live with it for awhile before deciding it is truly beautiful. I'm not saying anything more. The memories are too painful...sob!
 
I shoot a PFS on my Kolar and, as I stated previously, I know many shooters that use a PFS and a few that shoot the wood stocks that have a recoil reducing system in them. These stocks nearly eliminate felt recoil. You can shoot all day long. One reason that these wooden stocks look different is because the newer high rib guns require a higher stock, so they look different to what many people are used to seeing.
 
I'm not a fan of the gizmo stocks even though I've owned one and tried others. Extra weight were you need it least, risk of going out of adjustment at the worst possible time and God forbid if you had to switch to a gun without the fancy shock absorber.

I'd rather spend the money having a standard stock modified to fit me and shoot lighter loads if the recoil was bothering me that much.
 
If "pretty" broke more targets, I'd want the prettiest wood, the shapliest stock design, the nicest engraving, and maybe some platinum and gold highlights. However, it seems that function, not aesthetics break targets.

I've struggled for years to get a shotgun to fit me properly, and I've put on adjustable cheekpieces and adjustable butt plates, and the result is still an uncomfortable fit.

So, for my $.02, I wouldn't care if the stock looked like it was a bastardized bicycle front fork---if it did the job.
 
Custom Stock

I like the stock and the way you can tune it to fit is a plus, i have seen the top shooters take a file to there stock because its biting them in the cheek. Its only a piece of wood i was told, however i would not take a file to my perazzi but would be interested in trying on of these because of all the adjustments. I thing it looks like a good fit if you have trouble making your gun fit....
