I am ready to order a new Manners stock but I am not positive about my LOP.
My rifle has a stock 13.5 and back when I was doing allot of bird shooting I had a fitting done with a Try Gun and it was determined that my LOP was 15.25".
So I guess that mr correct rifle pull is so where in between.
The 13.5 always felt a bit short, but with a scoped rifle my shotgun dimention will be too long so I am wondering what the norm is.
Whatdaya think??

That was really a big help...Thanks Again for that!

I think that I should be about 14.25"

Measure from the crotch of your elbow to the trigger finger in the same position it would be in when firing a rifle.

That'll get you very close to dead on.

You can also just set a rifle but in the crotch of your elbow and try fingering the trigger. If you can reach it comfortably you have the right LOP if not, add/subtract as needed to get you there.

That's how I was taught on shotguns and it seems to hold pretty true for rifles as well.
