Just raising the comb will raise your POI

 

I am no expert but I would start with finding a monte carlo stock and pattern it to see where it shoots then have an adjustable comb put in it and start moving it up in small increments

 

Neither an expert here too but I do understand the comb and POI relationship. You could just add on an adjustable comb. Have the stock smith set it up so comb is parallel to the rib. But if you like the looks of the monte carlo stock then...
I would try and find a monte carlo stock with an adjustable comb first since 80/20 is rather high POI.
I would forget about add on ribs for now. If you raise height of front bead you lower the POI.

FWIW, there's a 30" VR barrel for sale in the classifieds on this site.

On my Krieghoff -- Raising my comb 1/8" Raises my POI 3" -Bretta has a great silicon stick on comb in several thicknesses

 

This is probably the easiest way to start if it's going to be a backup gun.
It's a straight trap stock and long forend. It will get the POI up for most people without the need for a replacement barrel for casual use.

That’s a good deal!

 

For my A5 field gun I added a 1/4 in h Cheek-eze foam pad. It saw me to my state hdcp championship and both 100 straights.

I am playing with an 870 this summer. A Boyd's thumbhole stock gives me the high pattern I want at less then getting an adjustable comb.

Watch (fle)e-bay I have an almost perfect 30" full choke barrel that I cannot believe my bid won.

Depending on how much you need to raise the stock you can do a little with moleskin or a lot with an adjustable stock. I have done both many times.

 

Daro Handy is an advocate of modifying a Remington field stock by adding an adjustable comb with a “tapered” comb piece to make the comb parallel to the barrel. This modification allows full contact of the recoil pad on your shoulder yet having a parallel comb. It’s a great idea and it has worked well for him on his 1100.
