Thanks for your thoughts! I am 6'4", and the shotguns that mount most naturally for me have a 14" LOP; this seems to work very naturally with my physique. The TW Stake has this length of pull, but it has a higher comb than the other guns and always requires a bit of adjustment after I switch guns.
Oddly with rifles I prefer a longer pull with standard hunting rifles and a shorter pull with AR15s.
I think that I will remove the current spacer and try it, particularly in the 'Churchill' stance. If I cannot make it work I can always put in a new spacer, either in a contrasting Ebony or African Blackwood, or in plain walnut and have Mark blend it. Cost is something of a factor, as I am on partial Veteran's disability and work part-time.
