I recall them all having the same rib configuration.
The one I shot was a flat shooter.

70/30 and 80/20, 2 different ribs

Mine never shot higher than 60/40

I believe I had a 60/40 rib option, too. Always had to kiss straightaways, which eroded our relationship quickly. Regretted not getting the higher shooter.

I believe the other rib option was 70/30, but I could be mistaken.

 

[jjhess]

I believe you guys are correct, 60% and 70% ribs vs 80.

I am thinking of purchasing a BT 100 for a back up gun. Do they all have the same point of impact like 70/30? Or are there different points of impact like some of the older be BT99’s
Thanks,Todd

They vary. The Old ones shot 60/40. Some of the later ones 70/30. Now I hear there are some that run 80/20. My wife has one about 15 years old. It throws a pattern somewhere between 60/40 and 70/30

Some of the old bt99,s like this one shot pretty high as well

I think the years were 1976 through 1979
Browning called them competition models

I think I will look for a high shooting bt 99 instead

Did any of you guys raise the comb at all?
That's why they make it adjustable, just saying.

 

[shotgunpeople]

I ended up raising my comb to almost 1/2" from lowest point, (made longer posts) and added a 3/8" high, small mini rib.

When I looked down the rib when I mounted the gun, it looked as if I were looking down a full rib.

I was going to add a tall bead mid length of the factory rib also, but found I didn't need that.

My camera was not quite centered on the stock in the second pic, but you can get the idea.

Mount the gun, see the bead is in the middle of the little mini-rib, forget it and look out, call for the target, float it, and Soot ball.

Cannot tell you how high the POI is, I set the comb up by trial and error on a straight away target until I had nothing but smoke. Never put it to paper after that.

Shotgunpeople, thanks for the picture of your mini rib. I'm going to copy it and take it to the club.

Mine had a standard non-adjustable Monte Carlo stock, otherwise I would have bumped it up a few notches.
