[QUOTE="BountyHunter, post: 58673, member: 12"] [b]Re: My son\'s first rifle[/b] Quick easy tip on youth guns and shortening the stocks. Take off the butt pad/plate and drill two 1/4" holes about 3" deep in the butt. Then masking tape the stock off where you want to cut it, mark you line, carefully cut with bandsaw. Save the piece cutoff. When the child gets older and needs the extra length, simply take the cutoff piece and use two 1/4' dowels to glue it back in place in the holes you previously drilled before cutting the piece off. It will be perfectly aligned and quick refinish is all that is needed. Started mine on T/C contender in 22LR and 7-30 waters with light loads and reddot also. Easily worked up to full loads for hunting deer later. BH [/QUOTE]
