FWIW, Jack O'Connor once wrote that most people shoot a shotgun that's too short and a rifle that's too long (LOP). Seems he was in the camp of short pulls on rifles as well.
I don't obsess over LOP on rifles, unless it is a dedicated offhand iron sighted rifle, as much as I do shotguns. Shotguns are mounted and shot without aiming, so the fit must be closer to perfect than with a rifle. I shot competitive offhand for many years and was very particular about the fit on those rifles, but I can position a scope to give me proper eye relief with rather broad range of LOPs on rifles. Over the counter stuff usually works great for me, even though I prefer a 14 3/4"-15 1/4" pull on shotguns.
