[QUOTE="Capt RB, post: 1349218, member: 85987"] I'm 5'7" for prone off bags or bipods I shoot long lop better than 15". The rifles I use for tracking or stalking are also longer than factory. I use a leather slip on pad over the factory pad. Move into the gun not move the gun into you and you will see longer is far better. Short lop cause high shots way too often when shooting at flushed game. I use a 760 for alot of days. I have moved the stock for 3/8 cast off. I replaced the original when I went to optical sights vs a peep to the new high comb. Unlike long range shooting/hunting the shots are close in thick cover with maybe 2 bounds by the animal to cover. If it was short I'd shoot over them most shots. Practice mounting your rifle in a mirror in the clothes/jackets you'd wear. When I shot sporting clays this was part of the routine to get better. If you don't it really doesn't matter what your lop is. Once hurried you will lose time finding your sights. It might be the only shot you get that day if your stalking heavy cover [/QUOTE]
