My son is 7yo and I want to get him shooting this summer (he will be turning 8). I had been leaning toward getting him a Savage Rascal. A poster in a thread similar to this one recommended against such a small rifle and suggested cutting down the stock of an adult rifle.
My son shot the 10/22 twice last year. The first time I was able to help him and he had a great time hitting the steel spinner target. He just could not get comfortable the second time. The rifle stock is just too big and the scope is too high and far from his eye. The rifle is currently in a Hogue overmolded stock. The original stock has been collecting dust for several years.
Which peep sight should I use if I pull the scope off? Have you cut down a stock? How did you do it? How do I determine the correct LOP for a growing boy? I'd like to cut it in sections so I can add back an inch or two at a time as he grows. Have you done anything like that?
