Which of the following factors is usually NOT considered when fitting an individual to a gunstock?

The fitting of an individual to a gunstock involves several important factors that influence how well the firearm will perform for that shooter. Drop at heel refers to the distance from a straight line running from the comb to the back of the stock, which affects how the gun aligns with the shooter's eye and shoulder position. Comb height determines how high or low the comb is in relation to the bore, influencing sight alignment and comfort when aiming. Check pitch pertains to the angle of the stock at the point where the shooter’s cheek comes into contact, which impacts comfort and control.

Grip width, while a relevant factor in the overall feel of the gun, is generally not a primary consideration in the fitting of a gunstock. The dimensions of the grip are more a matter of personal preference and overall firearm handling, rather than a critical element of how the stock interacts with the shooter’s body and aiming dynamics. This distinction makes grip width less essential compared to the other factors mentioned when it comes to achieving a proper and efficient fit for the shooter’s individual needs.
