He doesn't need to now. He has changed the title of the thread which makes my reply meaningless.

Unnecessary, now that he has changed the title of the thread. Makes my post meaningless.
Sounds to me like he needs to get with Bill Kempffer, who is a decent gunfitter, and make sure before having the stock bent on anything.

Bend it yourself. It is really quite simple. Sort of fun, in a scary sort of way.

If patterning on a shot plate/board reveals what you say and the gun is patterning low, send it to Dennis Earl Smith, aka The Stock Dr. and let him bend it up 3/8 to allow for rebound. Should end up with about 1/4 and work fine.

Another option is to gain 20 pounds. Face gets fatter and problem goes away. Ok thats not going to work but it does work that way.
Have it bent. Unless the stock has some issues in the grip it should bend well. Ive seen guns bent amazing amounts with no problems.

Bill, Jon, & Stan, your replies were helpful and reminded me of a McIntosh article which suggested the same idea of building up the stock temporarily and shooting the gun to see how it performs. If the higher comb is effective, consider the next step. Weight gain has gone the wrong direction, I recently lost 30 lbs! The offensive bit of walnut:

Nice wood. Odds are youll gain those 30 back. (Sorry) Try an ISIS leather stick on pad so you wont make a permanent change. I have a couple these on Parkers. They look pretty decent and they are easily removed, but not reusable.

I think that it is hopeless. Best to send me that gun. I can learn to shoot it as is. It does look like a keeper for sure.
You might find a bit of cast change and upward bend does wonders.
