[QUOTE="6.5x300 WBY, post: 2413204, member: 89150"] Ok i was about to get a custom rifle made and spoke with a very accomplished rifle smith from here Alex Wheeler on the phone. When we spoke about stocks i askedbfor a longer LOP like 14.5" and he asked why. I told him when i was in a gun store looki g at a beautiful SS,16guage shotty that it was perfect. I dont mean close or pretty dang good. I'm talking perfect as if this gun was built for me like a custom suit. I am like you 6'3" with longggg arms. I shoot true 32" bow that is when i do archery. I was measured by a pro archery shop and after he took my measurements he yelled hey johnny this dude really has a 32 " draw. So back to Alex, he said that is totally different with regarding shotguns to rifles. Shottys need to be brought up instantaneously in as close to perfection for fit and make a good shot. ( Yes i hear you say well i could jump something and need the same thing. Kind of but your rifle has a bit more reach. ) rifles on the other hand you snuggle up to them get that perfect alignment and make your shot. Maybe not word for word but pretty much the idea. Albeit i get the fast shot close range. But thats not the norm but the exception unless you just drive animals on your hunt. My .02cents Brian [/QUOTE]
