My advice to anyone looking to buy a shotgun to shoot, is get a professional to determine your shooting dimensions.

If one is in a turkey blind shooting at a target that is standing still, a lot of drop keeps one from having the toe of the stock up on the top of the shoulder as one aims straight down the rib at its head. So it matters what the gun is used for. Also, the taller one is requires more drop in my experience.
