[QUOTE="belldar, post: 2411760, member: 17374"] I am not as tall as you but at 6.1 with long arms I started out with custom builds with longer LOP at around 14-14.5+. The last two years I started going back to more normal LOP. Here is what I found. I didn’t mind the longer LOP 15 years ago and thought it helped. I had not tried these rifles with the normal LOP. I found it was wonky going from my longer custom LOP rifles back to standard. Since going back to a shorter LOP I found I shoot my customs way better now( manners GAT and MCST). My rifles balance and cheek weld are now better and I find I am more steady. A big factor is off hand or bench shooting as it is more comfortable now with a normal LOP. I didn’t have to do much due to Manners stocks having ample spacers. I removed 1 inch off my MCST after i improved my 260 and shoot it much better now. That caused me to remove the same inch off the GAT and it feels much better as well. This is just my 2 cent but it made a huge difference in how my shooting is now. The shorter stock helped balance out the front end considerably for me. [/QUOTE]
