This review of the Rizzini V3 shotgun, specifically its ladies' specification model, highlights the benefits of a tailored stock for smaller-framed shooters. The presenter, a taller individual, finds the gun surprisingly comfortable and effective due to its stock geometry, including a Monte Carlo comb, specific drop measurements, and cast. The video also touches on the enjoyable shooting experience of the 28-gauge caliber, its effectiveness on clays, and the overall quality and value of Rizzini shotguns.

This YouTube video from the NSSF channel features Gil Ash from OSP Shooting School providing expert instruction on achieving optimal shotgun fit. The video focuses on the three key dimensions of shotgun fit: length of pull, drop at comb, and cast off. By understanding and adjusting these elements, shooters can improve their control and accuracy with a shotgun. The description also includes links to various NSSF initiatives and resources, encouraging viewers to get involved in shooting and hunting.

Gil Ash from OSP Shooting School explains the concept of 'third dimension cast off' in shotgun stocks. This refers to the bending of the buttstock, typically achieved by heating and shaping it, to correct for the shooter's shoulder pocket and eye alignment. Proper cast off ensures the shooter's eye is aligned with the gun's rib when mounted consistently, leading to more accurate shooting.

This guide details the essential elements of shotgun stock fitment, as explained by expert Jonny Carter on TGS Outdoors. It covers critical measurements like Length of Pull, Cast, Pitch, and Drop, emphasizing how these factors contribute to consistent gun mounting and accurate shooting. The video highlights the importance of periodic adjustments, especially with modern shotguns featuring adjustable components, to maintain optimal fit as a shooter's body changes.

This video provides a detailed comparison between the ATA Arms SP Sporter and the Kofs Sceptre SXE shotguns, focusing on physical dimensions, stock features, action mechanics, and handling. The review highlights differences in weight, stock dimensions, recoil pad effectiveness, checkering quality, grip ergonomics, and internal action design. It concludes by offering specific reasons to choose each model based on user priorities like weight, fit and finish, or perceived solidity.

This guide, presented by an experienced firearms instructor, details how to select and properly fit a shotgun. Key aspects covered include understanding the shotgun's stock as its sighting system, the importance of the comb and bead alignment for accurate pointing, and how to test for proper fit through repeated mounting. It also touches on choke systems, barrel length considerations for different hunting scenarios, and the critical role of length of pull in achieving a natural and effective shooting platform. The emphasis is on the shotgun conforming to the shooter, not the other way around, to ensure consistent accuracy.

This video from SHOT Show 2016 introduces the Franchi Catalyst line of shotguns, specifically designed for female shooters. Joe Curbach of American Rifleman interviews Keith Hline, who details the ergonomic adjustments made to the over/under and semi-automatic models, including shorter length of pull, adjusted drop and cast, and a shorter grip length to better fit a woman's frame. The goal is to make shooting sports more accessible to the growing female market.

This guide, based on instruction from Gil Ash of OSP Shooting School, details the critical aspects of shotgun stock fitting. It covers the three primary dimensions: length of pull, drop at comb, and cast, emphasizing the importance of a consistent gun mount. The guide provides practical measurement techniques and explains the impact of stock adjustments, such as the 1/4 inch to 1 inch ratio for length of pull.

Master Gunsmith Jack Rowe demonstrates a technique for bending shotgun stocks, emphasizing the importance of compensating for wood springback by over-bending. He details the process of wrapping, clamping, bending, and cooling the stock, followed by crucial refitting and safety checks to ensure proper function and prevent mechanism seizure. This technique is vital for optimizing a shotgun's fit to the shooter, particularly for improving accuracy in aging or differently-abled individuals.
