Actually Drew, the gun should come up to your face, not your face bending down to the gun. And, you should be able to put two fingers between your face and hand. Now, people pre mount every which way and some shoot very good doing it. You put more weight on your front foot and your head will naturally go forward [ and down a bit ]. Equal weight on both feet and a more " heads up " style of shooting. If you stand more perpendicular to the target a shorter stock will work than one standing like a rifle shooters stance. So I don't believe there's a quick answer to your question. Mount your gun and see if you're looking down the rib. I'm 6' 3" and weigh 235 with a long neck. In the summer I like 15 1/4 LOP, 2 1/8 DAC, and 3 DAH. In the winter 14 5/8 LOP. And as you can tell, I shoot in a head up position. Practice mounting your gun, then shoot it on a pattern board if you're not satisfied with your scores. Good luck.
