Found a gun that fits perfect

TheKlawMan · May 30, 2012, 07:17 PM

At least it seems to fit perfect and how it shoots could be something else.

It's a Browning Citori XS .410 with a Morgan Pad. The weird thing is it's a left hand gun and I am a righty.

One way to tell - shoot a round and see how you do

The owner is pretty friendly and maybe I will ask him to let me shoot it. Of course now I am getting fit to my right hand XS Skeet but it would be interesting to find out that a left handed gun fits me more naturally.

I don't think our friend, TKM, really has a .410 benchmark. As you know, going from 12-ga to .410-bore can be a rude awakening.

You are right there, Zippy, A .410 is far in the future for me. Only today I got to plugging so so with 7/8 ouncers in my 12 gauge XS Skeet. (I had shot them for a few months a while back in the 870 but given up on them when I got the Browning.) I would be curious to try his .410 just to see if I can hit the barn door with it.

boy, the Browning XS Skeet is a terrific gun. And, the 20 gauge with 30" barrels is just hands-down fantastic...

TKM, if you feel the .410's stock is a great fit, may I suggest that you get a custom stock dimension chart, some tools (straight edge, square, protractor, scale…), measure that stock and fill in the all blanks. Then compare the measurements to your stock with an eye to seeing what seems to be the biggest difference/s.

Maybe, Zippy. The think is that my XS Skeet fits me pretty well, now. I don't know what I did to accomodate it. Maybe I slowly strectched some muscles or ligaments.
