I have always encouraged people considering a Mesa to handle one first. While the specs show it to have a normal LOP, it feels different in the hand. The wrist is slim, and I was aware of that, but there was something different yet. Yesterday I realized what it is. Look at the pistol grip position of these various stocks. It sits further back on the Mesa making it feel like a shorter LOP, but from butt pad to trigger is pretty much the same as the others.
