Mudflat Mike, SASS #20904 Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 I'm not a double barrel shooter, tried it once and it wasn't a pretty sight! Today, while wondering around the local gunshow, I found a nice Browning BSS 12, but it was a "sporter" with a straight stock. Does this kind of stock make much difference to those of you who like 2 barrels? It was really expensive! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G W Wade Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 I like them! I have an SKB and a pair of Browning Citori"s with English stocks GW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cold Lake Kid, SASS # 51474 Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 I have one with a the straight stock. Modified and Open. I find it fast to shoulder for flushing birds. Haven't tried it for CAS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lazy Eeyour Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 I believe this applies: English stock = elbow out Pistol grip = elbow at side Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col. Cornelius Gilliam, SASS#5875TG Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 I shoot black powder through a 26" Browning BSS with a straight stock and absolutely love it! Also like the pistol grip doubles. I think it a shooter preference thing, don't know that it matters much in this game. Shooting the straight stock feels a little different, but I don't shoot any slower with it. Sure don't notice anything after the timer goes off.

J-BAR #18287 Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 The British style of wingshooting emphasizes using the forward hand to control the swing and muzzle. The straight grip puts the strong hand in a weakened position so it can’t overpower the hand on the forend. For our game it won’t make any difference. If the gun mounts comfortably and points well for you don’t pass it by because of the grip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snakebite Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 Just my personal opinion, but I don't care for them. I would never spend the Pricy money for something that was not exactly what I wanted. I'm sure that it could be resold, but unless there is plenty of margin I wouldn't buy one to resell, and sure wouldn't buy one to use myself.

Bullett Sass 19707 Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 I like the pistol grip myself but around here several people have converted there pistol grip to straight stock and seem to like them very well. Bullett 19707 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deuce Stevens SASS#55996 Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 I really wanted to run a english style stock for a long time. I love the look and feel. It was faster off the table but there was not enough purchase for my style of shuck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gateway Kid SASS# 70038 Life Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 I tried a straight stock on both a BSS and a stoeger. liked them but with the arthritis in my wrists the pistol grip style and lighter weight of the SKB seem to give me a better grip to pick up and less weight to move around. guessing just a personal preference.
