Did you cut the stock down to fit your daughter?
No, I just took off the factory buttpad/plate and put on a small slip-fit limbsaver recoil pad. But there a couple of places that sell stocks at not too crazy prices, I have the links on my other PC and I'll post them later. One outfit will even cut it to whatever length you want and install the recoil pad before they send it to you.

Heres my daughter from this year, 13. She has a tikka T3 lite and a single shot .410 with the grouse. The tikka fits here very well but she's a really big kid.

Yard photo and field photo.  153 W/O eye guards.  Not a huge deer but a good first buck.  She passed this buck up the first morning, and she shot him in the same draw a week later.

huntinhick, I found the link I was talking about

http://www.gunstocksinc.com/

I considered this route since I thought the little bit of extra weight of a laminate would help but since I went with the 25-35 it doesn't recoil anyway.

started my daughter off with a 22-250 for target practise then when it came to her first hunt which was a wyoming antelope hunt we got her a winchester youth in 257 roberts. the antelope scored 80 3/8. she now shoots a 700 rem in 280 rem.

My son and two daughters all started off with my spare 30-06. It's a Winchester 670 with one inch cut off the stock. I load 125 Ballistictips to 2600 fps with 42 gr. of H4895. Very accurate, low recoil.

This year my son will start carrying and (hopefully) pulling the trigger. I am starting him off with a Mossberg youth 20 gauge pump for turkey and grouse, maybe duck. For big game, he will be shooting a Savage .243

Two more pieces of info for dads considering a hunting rifle for their youngster:

Ramline makes drop-in youth stocks for the major American rifles for only $50. Scroll down here to see them: tjgeneralstore.com

Both Remington and Federal make reduced-recoil ammo for the medium calibers 270/7mm/308/30-06/300winmag. some info here

My opinion: For a lot of reasons (pride, familiarity, economy), buy a rifle that will last them a lifetime. No need to start off with a small caliber, only to have to upgrade later.

Yeah... ME! My biggest would fit inside that one.   That is a nice buck for sure, sure will be fun for her to rub it in some "snotty big shot boy's" face that her buck was bigger. Congrats to the both of you.
