IME most shooters of today are looking for so-called "modern dimensions" of about 2-1/2" - plus/minus about 1/4" depending on their shooting style. Go to most any vintage SxS shoot and you'll see many gents with comb raisers that stretch on, tape on, lace on, etc. That's because for many people who properly cheek the stock a 3" or more stock drop will result in the gun shooting lower than flat and you can't properly see the bird or clay above the barrels. On the other hand there are gents who can shoot a low combed gun OK but from what I've seen they're in the great minority.
