The Gun Digest ,1988 edition, published a fitting chart used by W.C. Scott & Sons. I have been using it in my business for over 17 years now. It asks for dimensions of the shooter's physique and some information about your shooting style. However, talking to the maker when filling out the chart allows the professional to fine tune the "chart" for each customer. To date, I have a 98% blind fitting success rate on custom gunstocks using this system.
I was suprised and pleased to find that the American Custom Gunmakers Guild uses the same chart in their booklet..."Guide to Building A Custom Gun." The booklet is available from the ACGG.
