Selecting a new shotgun stock / LOP

[maroonandwhite]

Oddly engouh my wife and I have the exact same length of pull measurement. This is great though because I can go with a standard stock and not have to drop big dough on an adjustable. My Maverick 88 came with a 14.5" LOP but we both measure out at 13" using the measurement from the bicep to the trigger finger pad.

 

I have been seeing alot of praise for the Houge 12" LOP stock regardless of proper LOP. Does it make sense to go shorter for more maneuverability or will a proper LOP fit serve us better in the long run?

I use the Hogue 12" LOP and added a Limbsaver pad. I think it measures right at 13".

 

You can save some $$ and get the Limbsaver at WalMart too.

Haha thanks for the response Jimmy. I waited around for a few minutes but figured everyone was either sleeping or out doing late shopping so I went ahead and ordered the 12" Hogue. I was gonna order the limbsaver but I though the same thing about getting it cheaper in the store. The more I thought about it it just makes sense to get it short and have the option to lengthen it with a slip on. I tried out an adjustable one last night in the store and it just felt all wrong.

Mine had an adjustable stock on it and I like the Hogue a lot better. My right thumb and nose were just a little too close to each other without the Limbsaver. I kinda forgot to tell my brother in law not to wrap his thumb over the stock when I first put the Hogue on. I still laugh about that.
