Geoff:
I like adjustable combs and butt pads on trap guns. My first trap gun was a BT99 Plus that had both. With some judicious work at the patterning board you can set a gun up to shoot where you want it. I agree they are not as good as a properly fitted stock but they are not a bad compromise.
The downside is that they upset the balance of the gun but that is not as critical with a game that is shot premounted and the overwhelming temptation to start fiddling with it when you get into a slump.
I hope you don't think I've committed a moral sin by putting an adjustable pad on my Krieghoff Model 32. It already had the adjustable comb when I bought it. Incidentally, does Krieghoff do made to measure stocks?
