I have just this week measured several of my guns to try to figure out why I have such difficulty shooting a couple of them. I measured pitch using the method described by Rollin Oswald in his excellent book on stock fitting. He used the gun against the wall technique but specified that the measurement be taken where the barrels would be 28" long. You can use a straight edge against the barrel if it is less than 28".
I tried 7 guns and got readings that ranged from 4" to 0. Several measured around 2.5", so your 2 guns must have a pitch that is common if you measured them the way described in this thread - butt flat on the floor and receiver against the wall. The gun that I measured at 0 is the one I shoot best. It's probably a long shot, but I've ordered a couple of tapered spaces to use on my problem guns to see if that will help me any.
