[QUOTE="Orange Dust, post: 2732904, member: 92702"] LOP for a shotgun is longer than for a rifle because you hold it differently. It also changes depending on the amount of clothes you have on. Good rule of thumb on an o/U is you want an inch of clearance between your nose and your thumb holding the gun. Shotgun fit is third behind form and having a consistent gun mount. Without these prerequisites you are wasting money on a gunfitter. You can tell a lot about how a gun fits at a pattern board. Set it 20 yards or closer with a fist sized spot to aim at. Use the tightest choke you have and light loads. Concentrate on the spot raise the gun and slap the trigger. Pay no attention to the bead. Do this several times. Should hit the same place consistently. If not you have an issue with form or gun mount. Fix that then you can adjust the stock to shoot where you are looking. [/QUOTE]
