My dad gave me a Beretta S686 Essential. Great gun - doesn't fit me at all. I consistently shoot high with it. The drop is way too small (my cheek is too high). The 686 published numbers are: drop @ comb = 1.3, drop @ heel = 2.17.
My Browning BPS fits perfectly. Its published numbers are: drop @ comb = 1.5, drop @ heel = 2.5.
So... 2 questions.

- Are there other O/U 12ga shotguns with a drop closer to the BPS? Many O/Us I've shouldered in stores seem to have a drop similar to the 686. It looks like the CZ lines have similar measurements, but I haven't handled one, yet.
- Should I sell the gun and try and find one with a better fit or get it fitted?
