If I had a gun with a 13" LOP I would have put a 1" KICK-EEZ pad and a leather cover and let it go. That would have given me a hair over 14". If you can shoot with a 14.5" LOP, 14 inches shouldn't make any difference in performance. And a leather covered pad on a Webley Scott would really look nice. But that's just me.

Here's a Beretta Silver Pigeon ll I bought a couple months ago. You can easily see that someone lopped off the butt stock. They had a small Pachmayr pad on it, too. For $1500.00 it was like new, so I jumped on it. Now it's about 14 3/8 LOP. I just had the auto safety removed and now it's a great skeet and sporting clays gun.You have to remember too, what is the gun going to be used for? You'll probably shoot a gun with a shorter LOP in the winter because you'll have more clothes on.
