I agree with your opinion. But when I started this topic I mean that should exists some dependence between shooter dimensions and dimensions of the appropriate stock. Moreover, this dependence should be clearly described in form of some table where to certain shooters dimension will correspond concrete stock dimension. Such dependence should be not necessarily mathemetic or anatomic but rathero empiric.
The confirmation of my statement is the chart and table of Valmet posted above by pokslok; chart of W&C Scott (from you), very similar chart from Purdey catalog (I have seen) - if such companies are asking for client dimensions they should know the corresponding figures for stock.
I'm looking for such "figures".

There very well might have been at some time in the past. Many things became deep dark secrets never to be shared with others. This might have become one of the things that was passed down orally from journeyman to apprentice. I have never seen anything specific in writing. What I have learned has come from others and listening to older craftsmen/women when this subject has come up. Building stocks for the Competive Clays arena helped solidify observations of my own.
Maybe Crosschisels will weigh in and give the benefit of his knowledge. Who knows, I have been wrong on subjects before. Never too late to learn something new.

Tables and sets of figures and dimensions are a wonderful thing to have for referance. But never forget basics and fundamentals of gunfitting. This was never illustrated better than by this little anecdote related to me by my old friend Don Wilkinson, a highly respected fitter for amongst others Purdey & Churchill. Don was loading for a Toff on Gurston Down, shooting at stratospheric partridge. Lordy couldn't get to grips with these challenging birds and called for his trap gun.Instant success! "That's better, I needed more choke" says Lordy. "With respect Sir" says Don, "You needed more lead, and the higher combed stock of the trap gun has just given you that"

DES/TSD If things look like that and it's hard to find such written information I have to agree with you that ...Many things became deep dark secrets never to be shared with others. ... salopian metioned figures are based on "basics and fundamentals of gunfitting" and own experiance of stockmaker. I suppose that every good experianced stockmaker is able to make such table. Anod moreover I suppose they have it at the least in thier mind.
