I'm so tired of whiny-babies getting bent out of shape over stock drop. As if having to bend your neck an extra 1/2" is going to ruin your shooting experience.
The average Parker has killed more game than 5 modern guns ever will. If the old timers were able to use those crude weapons 80 years ago we can do it too.
Actually Greg, if a stock has too much drop, it would be a question of NOT bending your neck. If you bend a little to cheek it like you would a gun with less drop, that's when your vision is blocked out by the barrels. That's why people talk about a more "head up" shooting style with old American guns.
Brit guns of the same age may well have killed even more birds if they were used for driven shooting, but likely had a whole lot less drop. It's more a question of what you're used to than what's "right". And the simple fact is, most people used to modern stock dimensions are not accustomed to 3+" of drop at heel.
