I picked up a couple older American SxS's knowing full well they had some extra stock drop. I haven't spent any time with them at the range yet, but they actually come up pretty well for me. One was listed as 2 3/4" drop at heel and the other 3". If I cheek hard I sink under the sight plane, but with just solid but not "bear down" pressure it doesn't seem too bad. I'm right there at the bead with the 3" drop, and see a little rib with the 2 3/4" drop. Just curious if others can shoot 2 3/4 - 3" drop guns decently. It would sure be nice not to think about getting them bent. I'll add that I'm typically fine with 1 1/2 x 2 1/2" guns.
