LOP is pretty long though....might consider that.
That's actually one of the reasons I am considering it. I'm not super tall (just about 6') but apparently have monkey arms (or wide shoulders?), as almost all rifle LOPs feel really short to me. It seems the de facto standard is ~13.5-13.75 and I'd really like it longer.
It's kind of an odd measurement. I've seen several different "magic formulas" for calculating it....
The gun as configured with the Hogue stock measures 13 7/8" LOP, if I hold it up with my finger on the trigger and my forearm/upper arm at 90* angle, it lacks about 1 3/4" of touching my bicep...
based on one method, this indicates I would want 15 5/8".
I also read you should have your wrist and forearm straight to one another and 90* to upper arm, simulate firing position and measure from index finger pad to shoulder.... that comes out to 17 1/8".
