[QUOTE="ntsqd, post: 1987192, member: 93138"] It was a surprise to me just how high I had to place the adjustable cheek piece on the stock of my wife's 10/22. I ordered the youth model version of the stock to get the LOP somewhere close, but the cheek piece adjustment was a revelation! Up until then I had not really sorted out what needed to be different or how for a rifle to fit her petite frame well. I think BnG nailed, stock fit is crucial and while you may know what to look for, what gets it to work for her will be as others have commented - it won't fit you at all. Find a stock that fits and works. Then figure out what her ideal balance is. In my wife's case the CoG of the rifle needs to be well back, near the rear of the action. Then worry about chamber, barrel length & profile, and all of those other things. [/QUOTE]
