Here is a what I think to be a tough gun fit question to resolve.
Assume the gun in question has a parallel comb, a LOP of 1 1/4", and when mounted the distance from the right lens of the shooter's glasses to the thumb knuckle of his right hand is 1 1/8". As is, the shooter turns his head into the gun so as to better position his right eye behind with the middle of the rib. Even then, gun fit is not quite right and the gun tends to point a hair to the left.
What will the addition of an adjustable pad ( an "AP"), such as the 100Straight, do if the same thickness recoil pad is used? Assume the thickness of the pad adjuster to be .299". I suspect it will move the shooting lens back to where there is approximately 2 1/4" from thumb to lens.
However, will the addition of cast off with an Adjustable Comb (an "AC") permit the shooter's face to turn toward the target and will that tend to reduce thumb knuckle to lens distance.
Add to the mix the effect, if any, of using the AP to raise the entire gun approximately 3/4" from where it is currently mounted along with raising the comb 2/16 to 3/16".
I think this would be a tough scenario to approximate, but watch some of the veteran shooters figure it out.
