[QUOTE="midnightmalloy, post: 1365527, member: 25605"] So there are a lot of good points thus far in this thread. The process is the same for anyone. I used to fit lots of stocks and the easiest way I have found is this process: 1-place a piece of blue painters tape along the comb of the rifle from the top of the action to the butt pad 2-find what shooting position is best for her hunting situation. For me it’s prone. 3-have her get behind the gun (obviously the gun will be unloaded and with the bolt out) and have her close her eyes and just get comfortable. 4-with her eyes closed when she is comfortable mark the location of the end of her nose on the top of the comb on the blue painters tape 5-mark the location of the second knuckle of the thumb as it wraps around or on top of the stock on the blue painters tape. 6-measure the distance between the line marked from the thumb mark and the nose mark. 7-their should be right at 1” between those marks so subtract 1” from the distance between those marks. That’s how much you should cut off the stock. The most important note is that women are anatomically differently than men and thus need a different butt pad on their rifles. Kick ezz makes a pad with a substantial round over at the toe which helps immensely with the pressure a standard butt puts on the top of the chest/breast of a woman. Once you have the ideal length of pull from the above steps you will need to adjust for the thickness of the aftermarket butt pad you choose. Let me know via pm if you would like any further help.
