Al Merrill,
As to what it is like to aim a rifle with this much drop, you must remember that your shoulder is four or five inches below your eyes, so you do not have to bend your neck to sight this rifle.  It fits naturally.

John,
You are welcome to bring old Dick Gadler with you if he will come.

   I thought that but then wondered why more people don't build more rifles with a lot of drop, so I thought maybe there's something uncomfortable about them. Thank's for your thoughts.    Al
