Shotguns with adjustable stocks for tall people.

Most tall people need a longer LOP(length of pull). A buddy of mine is about your size. He had to put a spacer between the stock and the recoil pad.

Re. the comb question - yes, raising the comb would change the gun's POI (point of impact). You would see more of the rib, and your gun will pattern higher.

I'm 6'6". if my experience with an off-the shelf shotgun is any indication:

1: your gun will shoot a bit high. Longer barrels will help prevent this
2: you may have trouble looking down the rib, because your shoulder is further away then the mfg expected.
3: adjustable stocks help. I like the Akita by Ati
4: I also put a small wedge ati sells to angle the stock down a bit. This helped.

In the end, though, you can either buy a stock that fits you properly (ie: custom, or those super-adjustable stocks you see people with at the skeet range) or get used to what you purchased being non-ideal (my option)

It sounds like going with some kind of adjustability is the way to go. Thanks for the info, I'll keep it in mind when I shop around.

I have a Mossberg 500 that I had sitting in my closet for a decade. I decided to breathe new life into it and I'm pretty happy about it. I'm 6'-2", the adjustable stock lifts the sight right up to eye level, and the forward grip keeps you from having to hold your supporting arm up so high.

It's the UAG Tactical Conversion Kit.

Now I just need the shoulder thing that goes up and it'll be complete

One thing I have noticed, when you angle a stock like that (and like I've done) it kicks harder against your cheek... kind of unavoidable, and not at all dependent on the specific stock as far as I can tell, but something to be ready for.

Bleh. That's the shotgun I shoulda' bought. With my Benelli, that relatively giant stock is a pain in the a**...
