[QUOTE="Bravo 4, post: 1348519, member: 8873"] I find that with my dedicated ELR rifle that my LOP is longer by about an inch, due to the fact that it will be shot prone most of its life. The way I square up behind the rifle and want to pull it straight inline with my body makes me want to extend my arm slightly more so than when over sticks or offhand. If I shoot prone with my body cocked to one side then my LOP is slightly shorter. So my ELR and normal/LR hunting rifles are set up different, from LOP to eye relief. My opinion is that if your shooting conditions go from T-shirt to arctic clothing there is gonna have to be a compromise somewhere, either you or the rifle. I use a slip on recoil pad when I shoot my daughter’s compact .243, except on really cold days when I have lots of clothing on, and this helps eliminate the LOP/eye relief difference. [/QUOTE]
