[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1349098, member: 30902"] No rifle without an adjustable stock will be perfect for every position, it's just not physically possible. The best is whatever length works best for you in all positions or an adjustable stock. I've got shorter than normal arms, heavy muscling and get along fine with factory length stocks. If you are working with a custom shop they should have stocks of different lengths around you can try in all of the positions you are likely to shoot from for you try. Try as many as you can one way or another even if you have to take a tape measurer and visit pawn shops and gun shops with long racks full of rifles you can try on for size. Either that, go with factory length and learn to shoot it in all positions. Again, getting proper eye relief correct has always proven to be more important than length for me. Ensuring the scope height is right would be a real close second. If you can't get low enough without working at it to pick up a quick sight picture or conversely find yourself goosenecking reaching to find the same picture you're probably going to have far more problems than you otherwise would over stock length.
