I have plans to get a stock bent -- my first experience with this. Dimensions at present are D@C=1.5, D@H=3.0, LOP@H=14.75, LOP@T=15.25. This is a Lefever with a reproduction solid red rubber pad. I'm usually able to shoot guns with a lot of drop, using a heads-up sort of mount, but this gun isn't cooperating and I'm always shooting high. Assuming the bend takes, I want to arrive at about 2.5" of drop and try a modern mount.
Eye-balling it, I figure this won't dramatically change the drop at the comb (maybe raising it to 1 9/16 or 1 5/8 at most), but I can't decide if the stock's pitch will be dramatically altered with negative effects. So many factors go into stock fit, and I don't want to go to the trouble and expense of the bending if the new pitch counteracts the effect of the straighter stock. The physics of the matter have me a bit stumped, and I'd sure appreciate any thoughts from those who've had experience with this. TT
