Referring to bolt guns just wondering for any of you other giants out there what you are using to get a longer length of pull. If i could install it myself all the better. just seeing what is out there and what is working the best for people.

Re: Us rather tall folks
Most stock makers cut the stocks down before putting an adjustable butt pad or spacer system on. If you ask them to put the spacer system on a full length stock they will. This way, you can remove it and have a short guy (standard length of pull) stock, if you decide to sell it. Adjustable cheek pieces are also great.
Also 6'4" and I run a 15" LOP

Re: Us rather tall folks
I am 6'7" and every factory stock feels like a child's stock to me. I have to add 1 - 1.5" to everything. If you can afford a McMillan or Manners then get their spacer system, max pull at 15". If you already have stocks then get the black hard rubber spacers from Brownells and install them between the recoil pad and the stock. Last resort, get the slip on pads and hold them in place with a butt stock cheek pack with the strap that goes around the butt pad.

LOL VJJ
I use an AICS chassis, so I just had to adjust the spacers to fit me.

Re: Us rather tall folks
On the cheap, slip on recoil pad should give you abut an inch (I do this with an AR running a std A2) I am 6'5".

Funny Guy VJJ...
Anyhow Iowa,
I'm 6'5'' and I slipped the Limbsaver recoil pad over my HS Precision 700P. It adds an inch LOP and put everything into place for me. With my Eagle stock pack wrapped over the top of it, you can hardly tell its there. Looks like its just part of the stock. Simple, inexpensive and effective. As a bonus, It may even tame the recoil a bit.
I put one on my 870 also.

Re: Us rather tall folks
Well, having been born and raised in Iowa.....breast fed and corn fed, I am 6'6" and I use a Tubb adjustable butt plate.
When I installed it I deviated from the directions and did NOT shorten the stock. This give me plenty of LOP and give me the range for shooting with a T-shirt to severe cold weather outings.
Easy to install, looks good, works good.
