I have a 28ga 1100 Remington and looking down the rib when mounted I am high. I’m looking for suggestions on lowering the comb.

May have been someones skeet gun that was set up to shoot a bit high. I like to have the bird above the bead so I can see it better. Not sure that you can lower it without shaving wood off or getting another stock and seeing if it needs to be lowered also.

I have all kinds of ways to raise the comb. Only one to lower it.

On a pattern board or clearly shooting over clay or game?

Two. Tilt your head forward to lower the eye, or a reverse comb, where the comb is carved out and lowered.
Actually, three. You could mount a Morgan pad on it and put the top of the pad about 2" above the stock at the heel.

Well this is what I did to lower the comb on my 1100 28ga purchased new.
I made a new Stock Bearing Plate .125 thick and milled it at an angle (thinner at the bottom) gently bent the Action Spring tube downward about 1/4” at a time bolting the stock back on each time with the butt pad for proper length. Then with a thin Japanese saw using my vise as a guide I trimmed the bottom 1/2” and very bottom detent where the stock is recessed to fit into the receiver (not the end of the stock). There is a small gap in the fit however when I raise the gun to my cheek my eye is level with the Vent Rib.
I also did this to my SX4 cutting the angle on the stock since there isn’t a Stock Bearing Plate on my Winchester. I also had to turn smaller the
