Your favorite pheasant O/U

I have 2 Citoris that are 38 years old. The 20-gauge has fixed chokes improved/modified.
I shoot 100 shots at skeet every week and wanted skeet/cylinder chokes.
Instead of investing $500 and weeks waiting for choke tubes to be installed,
I purchased as a backup 20 gauge CZ redhead with 6 different choke tubes...my main skeet gun.
At 6' 4" the typical stock shotgun length of pull of 14.25-14.5 inches is too short for me.
The CZ Length of Pull was much too short and I need to lengthen to match my other shotguns.
I bought a limbsaver slip on pad which will add about an inch.
Classic Slip-On Recoil Pad $47 which includes shipping to Montana.
As needed, I can fit shop-made plywood spacer shims in the pad and no one will see them.
For a 20 gauge CZ Redhead stock the butt dimension is 5.01" by 1.6"
so a classic slip on part#10547 up to 5.125" by 1.75" fit perfectly:

That lengthened the stock so the length of pull matched all my other shotguns. As a check for fit,
I taped a soda straw on the rib, closed my eyes and quickly mounted the shotgun.
Opened my eyes and was looking straight through the straw to the bead.
Repeated several times, and each time got a perfect alignment thru the straw to the bead.

6 years ago I bought a 725 Feather 12ga and fell in love with it. A few years ago, I decided to add another in 20ga. Post Covid, I finally got one through Gunbroker a few weeks ago. It felts great in my hands. Now to get some 20 ga loads.
