I am right handed, but left eye dominant. I have always used right handed shotguns. I am considering purchasing a nice Beretta over and under.......maybe a silver pigeon V. My understanding is that all Beretta over/under shotguns have 1/4" right hand cast, but that a qualified gunsmith can "bend" the stock to a left hand cast. A gentleman at the Beretta Gallery in Dallas told me that they "bend" guns all the time. They wrap the pistol grip with burlap, soak it in linseed oil and heat it to a very high temperature which allows them to bend the wood. Does this sound reasonable? My question is, should I tamper with such a nice gun and would it make much difference in accuracy?
Any input would be appreciated!
