Well, this is certainly getting interesting. I assumed by your answers I would be able to correlate height, weight and build to calculate the correct lop for long arms; meaning firearms, not long from shoulder to finger LOL. It seems I have made an error. I guess lop is a subjective thing; what feels best to the shooter.

How many of you have had your guns fitted to you and how may have gone with what comes is what you use.

I have several rifles and shotguns that came too long and had the stocks cut to 13.5 inches to fit me. In particular, the Brno 375 HH Model zkk 602 comes to mind. The stock with pad come long enough to fit someone 6 feet 13.5 inches tall and then some LOL. I had to have it cut down. I just could not reach the trigger comfortably.

I was reading some info on lop that suggests using the "rule of thumb" to measure stock length. One shoulders the firearm and measures the distance from the knuckle where the thumb attachs to the hand to the tip of the nose. The distance between the two should be between 1.5 - 2 inches. Anyone use this method for determining lop?

Kindest regards,
