But noway, I am 5' 7" tall. Every gun I have with a wooden stock is cut to 13 1/2" length of pull. The wood stock version of the handirifle looks to have a length of pull of 13 1/2" the synthetic 14 1/4" . And I doubt the synthetic stock can be cut. I have a TC Thunderhawk with a synthetic stock and the length of pull is too long. There is nothing I can do about it because it can' t be cut. If I used it more than 6 days a year (season) I would get a wooden stock for it. 14 1/4" is too long for me. I guess I will get the wood. Most of my rifles are wood and I don' t see any big problems with using wood. I like synthetic better but that length of pull is too long, especially with heavy clothing.
