Drop and pitch are as important, if not more so, than LOP. My dad was a beefier guy than I am, but his favorite gun was his first gun; a VH 16 which he bought at the Cherry Street office of Parker Brothers, on his 16th birthday. that gun has a 13 3/4" LOP and 2 3/4" DAH. He was a firm believer that if your nose didn't hit your thumb, it wasn't too short.

Default Altered stocks

If altering factory stocks is a sin, I am in big trouble. Files, Bandsaws, table saws, and dremels are all tools that I have used to make shooters fit.

I resemble that.

You sound like Bob Brister, Tom, one of my most admired shotgunners and shotgunning authors.
