Drop at heel... #296721 10/11/12 12:27 PM

OP RHPierce Sidelock Joined: Oct 2003 Posts: 56 Arkansas	I could use some help. I saw a Fox Super for sale and have wanted one for a LONG time...but the drop at heel is 2 7/8", which seems on the excessive end. Would like some help...some of the Internet research suggests that Drop at the comb is more important, and the greater drop at heel will increase the jump of the gun and the beating the shoulder takes. Some articles advocate a level comb, some a minimal drop, and I'm confused. I know this is probably a beginners question, but I don't want to buy a gun that I've dreamed of owning and have it turn into a nightmare... Help?
