Help Needed - Stock Options for Youth
« on: June 13, 2014, 11:48:35 AM »
Trying to nail down a purchase for my kid's first rifle.  She's almost 11, just passed hunter ed, and ready to go this season for Ewash whitetail does.

I've done a ton of research, but still conflicted about what to do about stock size.

Her LOP is 11.5"+, and she's growing.  Most all youth/compact models ave a 12.5" LOP. Will this work?  I wasn't sure what the margin of error is in the whole LOP thing.  It would sure open up many more purchase options and less customization if i could roll with 12.5.

The other alternatives are buy a cheap wood stock and cut it down (really not wanting to do this)...

or get one from boyds for $100....

or... are there other options?

Other Info:.243, barnes bullets, VX-I 4-12 Leo, she's almost 5' tall, 95#s, and a strong/athletic kid.  Rifles i'm at: T3's, Wby Vanguard, Ruger Amer, Sav 11, Rem M7, etc.

Any help or suggestions about which direction to go would be appreciated.  I don't want to be cheap, prefer to spend more to do it right the first time.

Thanks all!

I think she can handle one extra inch of LOP.
Nature. It's cheaper than therapy.
