I think it might also depend on your mounting techinque and style of shooting ie: pass or dove in flight vs. approaching a dog on pint vs. working with a flsuhing dog- also climate and location- if I were hunting "Buurds" in Thomasville GA. with a fine LeFever Optimus 16 bore-I might want a tad longer LOP for that weather and style of gun handling than shooting divers on Long Island Sound in Dec. from a pitchin' layout boat. Also your body structure and preference in hunting gear-just MO of course, but I have studied the Limey style a la Ken Davies in the H&H videos and book-just because I beat-up old Fox and not a matched pair of Royal ejector grades doesn't mean I can't follow what works for our British cousins-- and in the SC segment Kenny-boy was shooting an American Ruger O/U 12 bore with the shiny Stainless Steel receiver alreadt!!
