Stock suggestion for youth rifle!

[Bkmuschalek78]

I am looking to put a stock on a savage axis 22-250 to get my 2 8 year old girls used to shooting. Does anyone have any suggestions for a stock or chassis for the savage axis 2 that will be short enough length of pull for kids? The gun currently has a 22" barrel but I'm going to cut a few more I chest off and have it threaded to run suppressed.

XLR Element will go really short

I'll check them out. I know putting a bunch of money into a savage rifle isn't ideal but it shoots lights out and it's for the girls first gun. I'm in the debates still of just building them a gun and putting it in a manners as I have 2 boys coming up right behind them. Decisions Decisions

A possibility would be a stock from Boyds?

I've looked at them and I think my Smith could cut it down to fit as he did one for the 10/22 they shoot now. I'm just up in the air between wood stock or chassis.

I'm worried about weight to reduce kick and unbalance on it.

Not much recoil on the 22-250 as I can remember. I believe you can specify LOP when you order. Good luck on your choice.

There isn't and once I add the suppressor it will be super minimal.

XLR has weight kits which will makes handling recoil very easy

I went the AR15 pistol route initially to get a rifle with a short enough length of pull and light weight for my son. 6.5 Grendel. With the ATF BS with pistols I ended up pinning a brake to a longer barrel to get him to 16". Still the adjustable length of pull is usefull.

What is there length of pull. I did the with a Remington 788 in the 22-250 and a Winchester 70 featherweights 243. The 788 i have a after market stock so I cut Down the original 1 to a 10.5 with the recoil pad but keep the 3 inch wood chunk I can add 1inch prices spacers as they grow. The Winchester I bought a wood youth stock did the fit and finish that is 11.25 lop. With recoil pad then it is a youth stock or the boyd At1 stock I like these they are a little heavier but the adjustments as the grow is awesome
