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".

Hi Roklok
I read your post on Caprivi. Congratulations.
I plan to hunt there for buff in 2026 oct.
How was the land, very dry ? But à lot of buffs ?
Thank you / merci

Chopped up the whole thing as I kept hitting the 240 character limit...
Found out the trigger word in the end... It was muzzle or velocity. dropped them and it posted.:)

This compares favorably to 7 Rem Mag. with less powder & recoil.

I know that this thread is more than a year old but as a new member I thought I would pass along my .280AI loading.
I am shooting F Open long range rather than hunting but here is what is working for me and I have managed a 198.14 at 800 meters.
That is for 20 shots. The 14 are X's which is a 5" circle.
