Hello,
So after a few days at the range, my girlfriend has expressed that my Remington 870 super mag is "too big" for her. What she is describing to me is length of pull, something I know nothing about. She is claiming that her arms are fatigued when using the 870 (not from weight) I also have a 597 and she says the size is more suited to her. I seem to not be affected at all between different lengths of pull (I have experience with a collapsable stock within the army, the positions didn't phase me, I chose shortest because the rifle is shorter).
Anyway, I have been doing some research on the whole length of pull thing, i.e. what would be best for her, and I'm not finding anything. I'm not looking for "a smaller gun cause she is a girl", trust me she shoots the 3.5" 12g mag's like a boss. I'm wondering if someone can help me out here, I've done everything short of taking her to the gun shop and having her try out Remington's length of pull system. She will probably be acquiring 12g in the near future, and I don't want to be dumping money into stocks to try and find one that fits. She isn't keen on a collapsable either.
So my question to you guys is: does anyone know what is an appropriate length of pull for a person?
- there must be a measurement of some sort, like length of your forearm or something.
Thanks in advance,
James
