RE: a little help..
I don't like a short thick stock or a stock that takes a sharp angle downward. So I narrowed my choices to the Cumberland Fowler/rifle or the Colonial Rifle. The other stocks are not the right angle. When they get down like that I just have a hard time getting behind them.
I hope all the college finanical stuff works out for you. Just remember, you have the rest of your life to collect rifles and shotguns, but college is something you need to get in there and get done or it becomes old... good luck.
