[QUOTE="memtb, post: 3063051, member: 75451"] JustAnOldCoot(er), Just chiming in again. I was certainly no athlete @ 14 and maybe 125 lbs. soaking wet….I bought my first rifle, a Model 88 Win. (a pretty light rifle) in .308 Win. I didn’t scope it for about 5 years, and it came with a plastic butt plate. And if I may say so……shot it pretty darn well. Now, 56 or so years later…..it still wears that same plastic butt plate. What I’m suggesting is….. with today’s recoil pads, he should be able to easily handle the recoil. If for noise reduction, very few shots are fired in the field….and ear protection is always an option. “Canning” the rifle adds a bunch of unnecessary muzzle weight and barrel length, unless you chop a bunch off of the barrel.
