[QUOTE="Sage70, post: 2417816, member: 119027"] I classify rifle stock in two categories, category one is for target shooters and category two is for hunters. There is nothing worse for a hunter than to have a stock with a length of pull that is too long. When you wear heavy winter clothing it will catch on your clothing and restrict your ability to quickly aim and fire the rifle. Target shooters and people who shoot prone seem to like a longer length of pull because it puts the scope further away from the eye when shooting prone or leaning forward over a bench. In the past 13 1/2 inches was considered the standard length of pull but today many of the manufacturers are making rifles with a 14 inch length of pull. I think it is because more people are shooting prone with bipods. I have a 35 inch sleeve length but a 14 inch length of pull would drive me crazy! [/QUOTE]
