I have bought 20 plus new in the box shotguns (Remingtons, Winchesters, Mossbergs, Brownings) over 40 years and never checked one for cast. Hunted with them all and never had a problem. Also I have never checked cast on any of my collection of Model 21s, Ithaca NIDs, Parkers, Remingtons. LOPs vary from 13 1/2" to 14 5/8" And if shooting in cool to cold weather with various layers of clothing they would all change.
They have drops of 2 1/4" to 3" and I hit with them all. Am I magical or are there others out there like me?? I really believe, like with any subject, you can go off on the deep end!


I agree 100%....I've never bought any gun that has had a pad added or had any owner modifications, extra holes, choke changes etc. Hunted all over the world with them and always hit what I shot at.....

You are not magical M2128, many others out here like you ....

I've seen lot's of folks spend a lot of money 'fitting' this and fitting that and they don't shoot any better after spending the fitting money than they did before, very interesting for sure.........

Agreed, Off the deep end.......



Don't get me wrong here guys, I'm not mocking, but some people just have better physical capabilities, hand-eye coordination, faster reactions, better vision, etc.. Some have these capabilities in the extreme. Some, like me, struggle to get to mediocre or not so bad. I have a friend we used to shoot every week with that had no formal training, yet was capable of shooting international skeet with the big boys...on occasion. The rest of the time, he was just impressive as hell. He can literally see targets moving so fast, I can't see them, and he'll actually analyze these things and shoot them. He shoots a gun way too long for him, yet has no desire for a pro fit session. He "stock crawls" all over that gun, but really fast.
