[QUOTE="Dr. Vette, post: 800627, member: 22335"] This is what I would consider: Buy a new S2 Vanguard. Great rifles, accurate as can be. $549 shipped, possibly less at a retailer near you: [url=http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=339184499]Weatherby Vanguard 2 257 WBY Mag 24" w/Ship : Bolt Action Rifles at GunBroker.com[/url] If your 14 yr old daughter is like mine, and it sounds like she is, think about a Hogue youth stock purchased through Legacy Sports International (the Howa people). The are about $120 to your door, and you can't buy them from Hogue. [url=http://www.legacysports.com/contact]Legacy Sports - Contact[/url] With not a lot of effort you can bed the recoil lug of the Vanguard in the Howa stock even though the stock is plastic. If you want, you can have a Weatherby Accubrake or a different brake installed on the rifle. The Vanguard I put together like this shoots well under 1 MOA with factory ammo. I will suggest that you now have a platform you can use as she grows. Eventually you can upgrade the stock or even the barrel, and it will still be her "same" rifle. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
