What is your L.O.P. and what is your build?
13/03/10 06:10 AM

Greetings from Alberta, Canada:

I was rummaging through my gun safes the other day looking at some of my rifles. I pulled out a Husqvarna 7mm mag bolt action I inherited from my father. I took the gun to my local gun store to have them tighten the screws and bore sight the scope prior to going to the range to work up a load. The owner of the shop who is a friend of mine commented that the stock length and length of pull, (L.O.P.), on the 7mm was extremely long at 14.5 inches. My father was 5 feet 9 inches tall and weighed approximately 235 pounds. Add to this the fact that when we hunt here in Alberta in November, we are wearing some pretty heavy bulky clothing to stay warm. My father was deadly with this rifle but my god he must have been reaching to get his finger to the trigger.

Back at home rummaging through the safes again, I started measuring the LOP's of my rifles. One bolt action is cut to 13.25 inch LOP. Another is 13.5 inch LOP. My baikal side-by-side double rifle in 45-70 has the front trigger LOP at 14.25 inches and the rear trigger at 13.25 inches. My Antonio Zoli side-by-side double rifle is 14.5 inches and 13.5 inches. I am 5 feet 11 inches tall and weigh 200 pounds.

Now come the questions. What is your physical build and what is the LOP on your rifles, double and others? How do you go about determining the proper LOP for your physical build?

My apologies for this lengthy tome; I am feeling verbose this morning.

Kindest regards,
