Al shotguns have something in common. The comb is way to low for me.
Is there a kit to raise it? Or do i have to get a monte carlo stock?

You can "shim" the stock.

Mossberg sells plastic wedges for THEIR guns, that are installed between the receiver and the stock.
These tapered wedges cause the stock to be "tilted" up or down, correcting fit.

I don't know of anyone making these for the Remington, but it wouldn't be a big project to make your own.
You can make these from wood or a hard, tough plastic.
Simply make up a wedge like the Mossberg types, but fitted to your gun:

They sell wrap around comb risers for folks like yourself. You can put it on the stock and then if you decide to sell the gun later on, just take it off. Look at the catalogs and you should see some made of leather with a soft pad for your cheek.
