No jokes please... I am contemplating shortening a rifle stock to more exactly fit me. To be beneficial it would help to know what my LOP is. How is this measured? I find the typical 14"+- LOP of most modern rifles just too long for use with bulky outer clothes that I typically wear while hunting.

How can I put aa A1 stock on my 30-06 Savage 110???? Just kidding- My LOP is short- most normal scope mount positions will not permit me to get a full view through the scope too. I wound up taking a saw to my shotgun stock, shortening by a full inch and refitting the recoil pad. Much better fit, but I would like something much more precise.

| use a yard stick, hook your trigger finger over the end. place you fore arm at a 90 deg angle to you upper arm. measure to the crook of your elbow. take this measurement and transfer to stock. Subtract the thickness of the pad and you have the proper cut length. |
