[QUOTE="Calvin45, post: 2318817, member: 109862"] I have an old savage 99 .243 inherited from a great uncle. It has an obvious line cutting through the butt end of the stock. I guess when his boy was about your daughters age he taught him to shoot with this rifle as his first centerfire and to make it fit he just took a wood saw to the stock and thought nothing of it, fitting a modified rubber pad over the back so it wouldn’t splinter or anything 🤣. Once the boy had proportions more close to a grown man they just wood-glued the old piece of stock back on. Can’t imagine doing this to a wood stocked rifle but also can’t say it didn’t work. Adds some “character” to this piece of family history I now own. [/QUOTE]
