I'm a fairly big guy, broad shoulders etc. I like 14 1/4 to 14 1/2 lop. With that said I have quite a few with standard 13 1/2 lop stocks. A decent scope eye relieve is about 4 inches which makes 14 inch plus's lop fit me much better than standard.
I was on Grayboe's website looking at stocks and the Terrain model which is my favorite has been replaced with a model called Eagle or Eagle Pro. The LOP for Eagle is 12 3/4 without spacers. It takes 5 spacers to get to14 inches. Starting out that short just doesn't seem to make sense.
If I'm making a wood stock from a turned wood black I can set lop whatever I want, I cut at that length. With an aftermarket fiberglass stock I have to throw the recoil pad away and grind another. It's not the end of the world to grind a pad on a finished rifle buts I prefer not to.
I'm not sure many manufactures offer spacers, maybe they do and I'm not aware. I'm oticed Sauer 100 rifles come with lop 14 1/4 if I recall correctly.
Just curious as what others think on length of pull, what do you like etc. Do some of you guys buy spacers and grind a new pad etc., comments pleas.
Thanks Billy
