[QUOTE="ATH, post: 1676007, member: 1656"] Just went through this with my smaller-than-average 9-year-old daughter. She got bored with .22s and wanted to move up to something she could hunt deer with this fall. We have a .243 minimum here. I built a 6X45 to test the cartridge but the setup (built for me) did not work for her. I set aside the McMillan stock and got a Boyds At-One as it was the shortest factory LOP I could find without trying to custom cut a stock. Frankly it's still long for her. So I put a Picatinny base on the rifle and slid the scope back as far as possible and this is very comfortable for her...except for the weight. She needs a lot of support to be able to manipulate the rifle well. Enter the Caldwell tripod rest setup. I'm REALLY impressed with this. She can pan and tilt the rifle accurately with a minimum of effort. Very happy little girl. Removed all frustration from the equation. [/QUOTE]
