I’ve always heard that a gun fitting for a SxS vs an O/U is ‘slightly different’. So, what’s slightly different??
It has to do with the difference in barrel flip. I need an O/U comb slightly higher. But most O/U shooting is not as low gun as side by side shooting so the higher comb seems easier to adjust to for my shooting style. Unless the rib is extra high it makes little difference to my shooting style but high ribs on side by sides just look hideous to my eye.
If a person has been fitted they need to consider it as a starting point not the answer to their shooting needs for every situation. It is a rough guide.
