Thinking you made a good call, gt1900.

I find it interesting that in all the remarks, no mention was made about the type of shooting & I'm of the opinion that can play a significant factor in the best length of pull w/some slight bias for longer on SxS's w/straight hand grips. Hunting winter pheasant in frozen field conditions with heavy clothing, a bit less. Shooting driven from a butt, a bit more. Shooting clays in decent weather and w/the gun too oft pre-mounted, somewhere in between.
