I am a 205 pounder at 5'11 inches tall. I prefer my rifles and shotguns with a relatively short length of pull I like about 12 and 1/2 inches. Who said that there was a rule on the length of pull. I believe the pull should fit your own physical charastics and your preferences. I have read advice that heavy kickers should have longer pulls. Why? Other than putting the scope farther away from your eye what does it accomplish? A longer pull puts the rifle's weight father away from your body center mass and should increase the amount of wiggle your arms impart into the sight picture. Just try holding a 10 lb weight at arms length and again close to your chest. Which positions wiggles more? The one farthest away from your body. It seems to me that the same principle would apply to long length of pulls. In any event, I prefer mine on the short side and I adjust the scope distance from my eye accordingly.
