doublegunshop.com - home Forums General Discussion DoubleGun BBS @ doublegunshop.com LOP for single trigger gun as opposed to DT's

I'm a 15 3/8 inch LOP on my Arrieta 20 gauge, English grip. I'm looking at a another Arrieta with a POW grip and a single trigger with a 14 7/8 lop. The guy at teh shop is telling me that a pow/st set up will require me to have a bit less LOP, I'm not sure and as the gun sits 3 states away I can't really go shoulder it.

I know that in a perfect world I get to handle and shoot the gun, pattern it...etc. but I don't have that option. However, if his thepry is right about requiring a bit less LOP I'll go ahead and grab the gun (there is a return policy) and if it doesn't work out I'll return it.

I'd like to save on the aggravation though and look forward to your knowledgeable comments/advice.

Double triggers do (generally) call for a longer LOP. You are probably going to need to shoot the gun before you can answer this question, and gun stores are funny about guns being shot, and then returned.
Good Luck, at any rate, let us know how it works out.

Best,
Ted

For me, spliting the difference between the front and rear triggers is my single trigger LOP. Commonly, 1 inch is the spacing between the triggers. So, if I'm a 14 1/2" LOP with a double trigger gun, I use 14" for my single trigger guns. It works for me.

I find no difference in required LOP for different grip types.
