This question is academic, but I promise I'm not smoking a pipe or wearing tweed.
After making some stock adjustments today by shimming the stock on my Maxus, I measured the pitch.
Since I don't have a Drop Stick, I just used my combination square with the protractor head added on the beam. The reading I got was 175 degrees, which I interpret as 85 deg, and +5 pitch. Correct?
This is a little shaky - the Maxus butt plate is deeply concave, and it was hard to get exact contact with the butt and the straightedge along the rib. I'm not really worried about this. The adjustments feel great, and I can't wait to bust some clays tomorrow. I just want to check my "ciphering" to stay straight (or cast on, whichever).
Thanks.
