OK I got the Garbi out and put the barrels along side a straight plane and measured out to the heel of the stock and got something like 2 1/2". I did the same on my 20 gauge Arrieta and got close to the same maybe a little less. I then measured my Purdey and got approximately 2".
I understand that I did this quickly as I had to leave for work but I would say the maesurements are close.
So would the 2 1/2" measurement be extreme?
