"Thats the only issue with it. It's too in line with action. Is that whats called the "pull" or " comb"?"
What you are describing is called 'drop'. 'Drop at comb' for example, is the distance the comb is below the bore axis. The comb being the front top of the buttstock, right behind the pistol grip.
"Drop at heel" is the distance the rear top of the buttstock is below the bore axis.
If the drop at heel is a lot more than the drop at comb, you have a buttstock that slopes downward.
A straight buttstock will have very little dfference between the 'drop at comb' and 'drop at heel' numbers.
