Lenght of pull

[Novagun]

I find that every Gamo, even every airgun, I have handled is a bit short in the length of pull. They weren't designed with a 6' 3" shooter as the market target. Bull pups are even worse.
No matter because it is an easy woodworking task to make up wooden butt plates that can alter the LOP to anything you want. They are quick to make and you can experiment with different shapes to suit your fancy. I reckon it is a well worthwhile undertaking and even with a synthetic stock a trim of varnished wood or even waxed adds a personal and attractive touch.

My CFR came with the Gamo shock absorbing butt plate. I tried it with the soft plastic inserts removed for maximum softness and with them in, and with them replaced with hard wooden inserts. I couldn't tell the difference. With a home made wooden butt plate I find the gun nicer to shoulder better shock absorbtion and better looking.

Actually I can't tell if there is much better shock absorbtion but the little bit of extra butt plate area and comfort might help.

For the cost of a bit of scrap wood and some time I find it well worth the effort.

I once cot 1/2 inch off of a stock on a Henry Rifle I owned. I replaced the but plate and had gin that I could shoot comfortably. In fact because of that 1/2 inch I became much more accurate with that particular rifle.

I am short (5'6") but I believe my arm length is a little longer than it should be for my height.

The fact is; we are ALL built differently. I don't envy the engineers who have to design everything from gun stocks to airplane seats hoping to accommodate the "average" person.
