I am looking for a BP rifle for my wife. One consideration is that she has a stiff neck and has trouble hunkering down on a straight stocked rifle. I bought a Kel-Tec folding carbine thinking that we could both use it: light kick and high sights. She was unable to crane her neck down far enough to line up the sights. My assumption is that the more drop in the buttstock, the easier it will be for her to use it. The Traditions Crockett seems to have the most drop that I have found so far. It is also in a small caliber and I think that would be a good introduction to this type of rifle. I am totally ignorant about muzzleloading and will welcome comments.
Thanks,
Terry
