Traditional muzzleloader stock shape?

[Paul in Idaho]

I like the idea of using a traditional-style muzzleloader for black powder hunts. A few days ago I went into the gun shop to look at them, and found that all of the old-style rifles they had did not fit me at all. They were all Traditions guns. Their stocks have very little drop, so I found myself having to lean my head over to line up the sights. I think that would slow me down and reduce my accuracy.

Does anyone know of a manufacturer that makes traditional muzzleloaders with a more pronounced drop in the stock?

Piece of advice with traditional muzzle loaders is make sure to always keep the nipple clean and dry. If you dont they will misfire at the the worst time meaning when you have a nice animal at 30 yards. Its happened to me twice.
