I checked to see correct LoP for a couple of my rifles, and boy, was I surprised. If I understand the procedure correctly, you're supposed to measure from the crook of your arm to the tip of your trigger finger, and then subtract 1". I've got long arms, so the measurement was 19". I took my two deer rifles and measured the distance from the butt to the trigger, which was 14" on both. In other words, if I understand LoP correctly, my rifles are 4" too short!
That seems like a lot to me.
I also wonder what it would be like I were able to add 4" to each rifle. Wouldn't that then mess up scope eye relief? Seems like I'd have to really push my head way forward in order to see through the scope.
What am I not getting about LoP? Thanks.
