I'm slightly taller than 6'1". Prefer a length of pull around 13 1/2" to not quite 14". depending on design of the stock or the particular scope on a rifle. I've made or fitted around 12 stocks for myself and have made a few stocks for gents who've seen my work at range I'm a member. Have also altered length of pull of rifles for a few gents. These alterations just depended on what the person wanted me to do. One guy had a very very nice CZ rifle. He was about my height and the 13 1/4" length of pull on it really bothered him.....I added about 1/2" to the it and he was satisfied. Right now, I'm making a stock for a gent and I'm making it a 13 1/2" length of pull. He's around 5' 10". I'll have him handle the rifle to check its fit before I finish it.
Problem is, whats right for me may be not right for someone else when it comes to length of pull. But, my comment of preferring a minimum of 13 1/2" and max of 14" seems to be in ballpark for stock work I've done.
