Default Remington "fit" issues.....help

I was able to buy back a Remington Left Hand XCR I needed to sell earlier. I've had all the metal Duracoated matte black and added a pair of stainless Talley screw lock rings in matching matte black Duracoat. It still has the POS Remington XCR stock on it though.

So here's my issue. When I shoulder the rifle....I feel "cramped". Like I'm shouldering a youth/compact rifle. Makes me feel like I'm too close to the scope and cant back away from it enough.
The scope is as far forward as the rings will allow.

I believe the XCR has a 13 1/2" LOP. A couple rifles that fit me perfectly are the Ruger M77 and the Win. M70.....both of which are listed at a 13 3/4" LOP.

Would that 1/4" shorter LOP make my Remmy feel that weird???

Any opinions would be welcomed....
