[QUOTE="Susquatch, post: 1642382, member: 31264"] There are too many combinations of rifles available already. Last thing I want is to have to order one with a 50" length of pull to match my 12ft height...... OK, maybe that's exaggerating a bit, but it's a lot cheaper to add a thicker or thinner recoil pad than it is to have to specify a custom rifle stock. If they all came in a wide range of lengths to fit everyone perfectly we would never be able to find what we want in stock. Seriously, none of the factory LOPs fit me either and I am a lot bigger than those who have posted here. Hence my nick name. I just live with it or add thicker pads. Edit - the above reads a bit snotty to me. That was not my intent. How about this instead. Manufacturers don't want to sell a wide range of lengths. It drives up inventory costs and plant complexity and in a perverse sort of way would actually reduce total sales because nobody would carry our size and/or the odd sizes would not sell. So they prefer a one-size-fits-all approach and hope that buyers like me will just add a recoil pad..... [/QUOTE]
