Title: Shotgun fitting
Post by: T-Dozzer on November 12, 2022, 09:36:37 PM: I have a Berretta A400 upland. Doesn't fit me well & having issues with accuracy. Looking for someone to assess & alter if needed.
Located in Prosser, Wa.

When I was looking for my upland gun I really wanted a Browning O/U but they just didn’t feel right. I tried a few different guns and eventually bought a Beretta Silver Pigeon. It just comes right up inline and felt perfect for me. Wasn’t my first or second choice but sure glad I got it.

Just making a suggestion. Good luck!

Didn't come with any. Found a few vids online, but they were mostly to change it to a left hander.

Takes some time for the measuring, plus driving down, then driving down to pick it up, but it was well worth it to get the wife's firearm adjusted to her. I suppose he could mail it after it is done.
