Over five hours of driving five shops visited and my adventure was a bust trying to find a CX or CXS. I shouldered a citori hunter with a 26 barrel. LOP felt short. Kind of like my V3, but a bit shorter. It could work if it had to I suppose. They had an older citori, used. LOP felt better. 28 inch barrel. No CX or CXS to be found anywhere. Every shop told me they could order one.
I'm at a loss. I am still hesitant to order one of them. But, given my build, I can probably fit to any gun. So it's just shoot the V3, or take a flyer on a CX or CXS.
Since shorter LOP is safer than longer, would you recommend the CX? Gun would be used for hunting and clays/trap. Im not too concerned about the rib height. I just want it to work for me. LOP on the CX is shorter than the CXS. I'm sure there is a reason, and it must have to do with the rib height. I'm just not versed enough in the art of the fit to understand what it is. Or maybe it's just set up for smaller people than the CXS.
I've also shouldered a SP1.
Felt too light and the drop felt weird for some reason.
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Pete
