I have a few OT questions Im hoping some of the rifle people that post here can answer. I recently acquired several rifles:
1. a friend gave me an old Mossberg .22 made for Wards,
2. on the advice of an internet acquaintance, I purchased a Mosin Nagant Russian military rifle, and
3. my great granddads 1863 Springfield musket.
What all these three guns share in common is a 13 LOP. Im 65 and my shotguns use a 15.5 LOP. Since rifles are aimed and not pointed Does LOP make that much of a difference with a rifle? Other than shooting on the rifle team my freshman year in high school and shooting squirrels and blackbirds as a kid, Im not really knowledgeable of rifle nitty-gritty such as proper fit (maybe I should ask to see the generic dimensions on a Remington 700 at the local Cabelas). Could any of you rifle guys help me out here.
