Hi there 340. I kind of know what you mean about fitting. You have seen some of the messing around I had done to my XS Skeet, primarily the adjustable comb, but the dang thing just didn't seem to want to fit. Then we took a lousy 1/4" off the LOP and it seems to work pretty damn well if I just let it do its thing.
I shot that 682 a couple of times on both the trap and skeet fields and it is a sweet gun, but while it is completely different than my Browning, they seemed to shoot about the same for me back then. Of course back then I couldn't hit a thing (not that I am much improved).
It is kind of a chuckle to see him out there whupping ass with his pump gun. I will have to check you out sometime soon. I'm not running any straights or even knocking on that door, but I think things are coming together.
As for the Honda, it's a heap but I feel so comfortable in it. As for getting another gun, the boss lady gave me the green light as soon as her new kitchen is in, but the more skeet I shoot the more I like the Browning. Perhaps that has something to do with it being a skeet model. Sometime I will have to shoot "high end" P or K gun to see if they seem to make much of a difference, but I doubt it would be worth the money until I master some of the fundamentals.
Speaking of the Indian and the Arrow. I ran into a guy today who has given me a lot of skeet tips in the past, but this time he was with the coach he has told me so much of. My buddy is a pretty fine shooter, which should be apparent from the fact that he shoots a Browning Citori XT Trap for skeet. I shot with and watched his mentor work and he was so smooth it was really something. What was he shooting but a Remington 1100 with a ridiculously worn down butt pad.
