Ive been drooling over a beautiful rifle for a while now and scared to take the shipping plunge due to way more cast off than any rifle i own. Easily perceptible even from small photos. Its a colonial and i understand that the cheek piece plays a part too.....but this one is 1/2" of cast off.....more than double any of my rifles. Am i worrying about nothing here????

I have a modern double barrel shotgun with 1/2" caste off. Perfect alignment, I would not worry...

You might be able to make it work. Your face will have to mount the stock in a more upright manner than you are maybe used to though. That's actually a good thing, because we have better balance and see better when our heads are upright and we are looking out the middle of the eye socket, rather than canted and looking out an edge of your eye.
It sort of depends on the drop at the comb at the place you most commonly mount the gun, and the shape / contour of the comb rollover. With rifles, most people can adjust things within their hold because rifles are much more deliberately aimed, rather than shotguns' being quickly mounted, pointed, and shot. There. stock fit is MUCH more critical.
