I am 5'6" and of fire plug stature...I was taught in the Marines to shoot my AR's tip of the nose to charging handle...doing so means a LOP of about 10.75"-11" depending on which AR I am shooting...most bolt actions and BA shooters seem to prefer a 12.5"-13.5 LOP...I am at the point of needing to install a recently purchased LimbSaver grind to fit recoil pad onto my LA stock...I would need to cut about an inch or so to make up for the pads thickness for a 12.5 LOP...I am thinking I want a similar shorter LOP on my bolt gun, something more like an 11-11.5" LOP...I do tend to snug up on my guns and shoot better like this...it will also yield a smaller and lighter package as I plan on shortening the fore end about an inch or so as well. I am running a 17.5" heavy barrel (considering heavy fluting as well) on a 308 hunting gun...so whats the Savage Tribes opinion on shorter LOPs? I will be well off the scope so no issues there...
Also can some of you measure your LOPs and tell me what your coming up with?
