I have an old NRA Fact Book, it claims that changing the pitch effects the Point of Impact. My personal experience is that it make the "gun fit" more comfortable.

I once measured the pitch on about a dozen guns with the "butt on the floor, action against the wall" method. I was not able to find any consistant value. They ranged from more than 3" to a negative 1".

The effects of pitch must be very subtle or it would be more thouroughly documented.

Tnx
