An angled glass is more challenging to shoulder mount, because one has to look down into the eyepiece. If the scope is not positioned just right, one has to crane the neck to see. That hurts stability, which largely defeats the purpose of having the mount.Bespoke shotgun makers use a try gun, essentially a very adjustable stock, to determine the dimensions required to fit the individual client. The Cullmann stock did have an adjustable shoulder plate iirc, but nothing for up and down. Both are needed to get a proper fit imho. If the fit is good, stability should not be a problem. It is when one has to contort oneself into knots to see that problems arise.</blockquote>
