Measure the LOP on a current rifle that fits you well, taking into account general clothing worn when using.

No one can tell you you're LOP.

You definitely need your hat size.... cool





With a purchase like this, if you're not sure, get measured by someone who knows how.

I'm 6'6" and use 14.25". Arm length would also be an indicator, I buy shirts with 38 or 39" sleeves.

14.5" is a little long for me since I normally have a jacket on. Also, mounting a scope back far enough could be another concern.

Like Steelhead said, no one can tell you.

Your height and general build affect it, slim or stocky. Also at least as important is your stance, do you stand squarish to the sight line or does your off shoulder turn into it. Turning into it mandates a longer LOP.

All we can do is guess.


Anybody who seriously concerns themselves with the adequacy of a Big 7mm for anything we hunt here short of brown bear, is a dufus. They are mostly making shidt up. Crunch! Nite-nite!

I'm 6'2 and use 13.75" just for reference but like it has been said, everyone is different. Try a google search or youtube video there is a lot of information on this that may help.
