PALUNC, I believe you are measuring Drop at Heel (DAH), not pitch. Pitch is related to the angle your buttplate or buttpad forms with the straight plane you lined your barrels up with, and is usually described in terms of how much different from a 90 degree angle that angle is plus or minus. I would hazard a guess that most stocks would display a pitch between 10 degrees plus or minus from that 90 degree angle.
And, in case I have misunderstood the nature of your question, 2.5 inches is not a extreme amount of DAH in my opinion.
