How do you know what's right for you?
I've never really payed attention to LOP until recently. I'm curious how you can determine what LOP would suit you best. You can't really shorten the LOP to see if you like it, then decide to change it back to a longer length because the that extra potion of the stock is now missing! I understand you can use spacers on the butt pad to lengthen the LOP, but how would you try a shorter LOP?
When shooting off a bipod especially, it's critical to make sure your cheekweld and your hold are very consistent from shot to shot. I think most people just pick the gun up and start shooting, adjusting their hold according to configuration of the gun. Maybe they would shoot better if they had a really short LOP, or extra long LOP? There's no way of knowing that?
