LOP depends on a lot of factors - ie; neck length, arm length, upper body dimensions, drop in the stock, ie; stocked for iron sights or scope - period correct muzzleloader or modern rifles/shotguns.

Also - position tells a story in LOP as well. Heads-up, Olympic style shooting with scope or irons, crawling the stock as I see most many new shooters doing at the range - mostly bench shooting, postion shooting and postion of the butt plate - between the peck muscle and deltoid - out on the arm as I also see. I see 5'8" guys who say they need 14 1/2" - chests out as they say it - interesting and a lot of that going around.

A pull too short is easily accomodated for, by moving the shoulder forward, however, a stock too long is clumbsy and difficult to shoot accurately from hunting positons.

If I measured the LOP of the guns that I shoot well, I'd find 13" to 14 1/4".

I'm 6'1", 210 pounds.

This rifle has a 13 7/8" pull and a lot of drop - Lancaster style. The butt fits the pocket inside the shoulder joint.
