So that's what happens when you get over zealous about moisture in the gun safe.

I like the leather case for it, very nice indeed, Would like
to be able to buy something similar. Handy for transporting a shotgun broken in a car with a very small boot so you dont have to try squeeze in a full sized hard case.

I've had something similar in my hands a while ago. The owner had indeed lost his right eye and had a similar stock made for his gun. It's extremely strange in handling to say the least but at least the man is still shooting.

I'm right handed but only the left eye is any good so I have always shot all long guns left handed while I shoot pistol right handed, use a right hand holster etc.

Doesn't feel weird or anything.

Would many right handed people have trouble shooting off the left shoulder if left eye dominant or vice versa?

Iv'e got one that's old,I used to use it for an old sprong (side by side) that I had, you could throw the case down hard and nothing would happen to the sprong,the stiching on this case is a work of art.

Crossover stocks - I should use one but will not, as I think that they are horrid ugly things. I’ve tried one, they do work, but I prefer an ordinary one and close one eye. If you are not looking for an Xover, you see them all the time and at good value prices. When you look for one, it always is expensive.
That one would be well made, the give-away sign for a quality one is the way the inletting is done around the top tang, which should also be bent in line with the turn of the stock at the wrist.

Leg-of-mutton – dead handy for a gun going to a shoot, but a sleeve is handiest for travel while there – it is a PITA to break down the gun each time you need to drive to another bit of terrain.
