Rifle for Long Length of Pull

I am glad you found that the R8 had the adaptability and adjust abilityto work for you. I understand your problem set. I an 5'11" and long arms and long neck. My rifle LOP is 15 1/4 and shotgun is 15 5/8 depending on drop and cast. With a long LOP about the only factory rifles I have ever found that fit is Double rifles. So Have either had to do a custom stock or a 1/2-1in spacer and 1 3/8 kickeeze. It doesn't look the best but does get the LOP correct. Since your LOP is a inch longer it will be harder for you on normal off the shelf rifle.
 
I have a longer LOP as well. My Blaser R8 with the professional (non-thumbhole) stock comes in at 15-3/8" with 2 stock extension inserts. There is one more insert I could put on for another 3/8", making the total 15-3/4".

Hallo Marius- do you have possibilities for stags in September during the roar? Where are your hunting areas in Romania?

I'm about ready to pull the trigger on another rifle but would love to see your rifle first, any way you could forward a pic or two?
Thanks,

Love your rifle! I'm needing a heavier rifle for Africa. Sold my .375 Dakota Safari several trips ago. Would you have any interest in a trade of some sort involving the custom 338/06 I have listed here on the site ( I have some room on my asking price. I also have a large quantity of the reloading components and new Redding dies as well as a box of A-Square Dead Tough ammo.
