stock straightening

I think you will be able to adjust to it. As we all know, many or most vintage guns have a lot of drop. I am surprised how fast you can get used to it. One of my tricks is to shoulder it a few times before I go to bed and then when I wake up I am usually good to go.

If I do shoot a gun with a lot of drop(and I did today a TA hammer gun with 3 1/2 inches). I just stick to shooting that gun for the day/outing. It is harder to switch back and forth in my opinion(between other Parkers...).

I keep thinking for shooting sports like FITASC a gun with more drop might be an advantage, at least for me....

Let us know what gun you get Russell!

I totally agree with Jay. With over 80 side x sides one has to learn how to dry mount the gun 5-10 times before shooting it to find where on your body is the best place to put it. Once you do that you can move to the range and start shooting. I HAVE to adjust to the gun, not the other way around. I have friends that want to be statuesque and shoot head up like they're shooting a modern target gun and they cannot adapt to anything else. They don't shoot side x sides. You can do it - if you want to.
