Mrs. Orcon has been showing a growing interest in firearms over the past few years. You know how it starts, plinking cans with the Sig Mosquito and then then rining spinners with the Savage 93. Eventually moving up to full size handguns until one day I'm informed that I can't buy anymore guns until she gets her own pistol. Well, now we're at that point with rifles.
She's shot my 308 win enough to decide she needs a rifle that "fits her" and I can't disagree. She is of diminutive stature (5 foot on a good day) and the LOP on my rifles is too long for her to consistently get into the eyebox without creeping the stock. I've considered getting a youth stock and reconfiguring one of my existing rifles for her but most youth stocks are either wood or cheap plastic.
My mind is made up on an adjustable for a variety of reasons but which one and for which rifle? For the cost of some of these stocks/chassis I could just buy a Ruger Precision or Savage BA that already features the adjustable butt.
The rifles I've got to work with are 2 Savage 10s (22-250, .308) and a Ruger M77 (243). What do you guys think? Float me some ideas.
