Apparently more and more 'compact' type rifles out there are being made with a LOP of 13" or less...
Guess if you are very short they would work alright, but at 6'2" and having fairly long arms I find anything with a LOP of less than 13 1/2" to be uncomfortable at best.
I'd rather 'suck it up' and go with a more normal sized rifle (with a greater LOP) even if it is somewhat heavier.
But that's just my opinion.
