[QUOTE="Pro2A, post: 2413224, member: 17889"] Are you using the old "finger tip pad @ 90deg to elbow crook length" method to determine your required LOP? I've never found that LOP measurement to have any effect on my rifle.....or even scattergun.....shooting precision. For rifles, once a proper recoil management position build......."shoulders/body mid-line squared to the bore axis".....rather than "little green army man angle" build.....is established, I work off of consistent natural point of aim around my cheek weld/scope eyebox/length to shoulder pocket. Never have found former LOP measurement method to be involved in this fit process. For scatterguns, and widely varying around clothes system worn, I'm working around how smoothly, quickly the natural point of aim builds during gun mounting from ready carry position....never shoot pre-shoulder mounted even skeet/trap, as that's not useful for me in bird hunting. Of course, scatterguns may have cast and drop issues depending how sadistically screwed up your mommy and daddy made you. Just a really, really old geezer's experience.....whose firearms have not been the weak link for going on many years. Firearm technology races forward nearing speed of light, yet struggling to compensate for old geezerism dwindling performance. YMMV. Finding what actually works for yourself is what matters. After all, people do, but the bullet never lies. [/QUOTE]
