I don't think there is any single LOP that is the ideal for each person. Many variables are at work as it relates to a comfortable shooting "fit". Forend type, stock configuration, cast, pitch, double trigger, single trigger, ****** etc. all play apart in "fit". I have guns from LOPs of 14" to 15" that feel very good and I shoot as well as ever (not well by the way). I also have guns that I thought had the ideal configuration that I can' hit the broad side of a gamebird or clay with. If it feels good shoot it!!!!

My favorites are from 13 1/2" to 15 3/4", even more spread out than Bob's. I once missed a bird with the longest one and once with the shortest one, but my buddies picked up for me. The total number of birds in the bag was the same. Pigeons are a different thing altogether, but the gun is already mounted, so no big deal.
