The common practice of measuring the LOP is to measure from the center of the butt, to the front trigger, on a double trigger gun. Where this leads to problems, is when a single trigger gun is measured from the center of the butt, to the (only) trigger. That may be the only way to report it, but if you shoot a DT gun with the same dimension as reported on a ST gun, you will find it to be roughly 3/4” too long to feel the same.
I know that the OVERALL length of a stock is almost exactly 1” longer than the lOP of a DT gun. Therefore, I keep that measurement in mind. Your hand ( and body angle) will then be the same. Then, shooting a ST gun will feel no different than pulling the back trigger on a DT gun.
At my age, remembering that overall dimension, is no longer important, as I have finally shed the last single trigger gun I will ever own.
Shoutout to Brian for his masterful conversion of my CHE 28 to double triggers.
