[QUOTE="HARPERC, post: 1672697, member: 30671"] Having done this a couple of times, my thoughts tend to be: I’m a grandpa cost isn’t as big a deal as it is with young families. Terminology: Youth set ups can be different than a kids set up. I prefer something smaller-lighter. As has been said it’s more than LOP, I have cut to 10.5” with success. Ideally it’s scaled back every where. 16” barrel etc. Past a certain point you lose durability, and rocking more HP isn’t good. Cartridges like .223, 6.5 Grendel, 7.62x39 are my choice. Maybe he’ll post but TikkaMike put together a really nice .22 Nosler for his family. The Ruger Hawkeye Compact Rifle is a really nice YOUTH rifle. I’ve sent one off to be restocked as a synthetic with instruction to make it not just short, but scaled with an eye towards KIDS. Should be back any day. Reflex sights are kid friendly. Really 3 ways to go about it, an adjustable LOP on a shared rifle. One of the youth models. Or a pure kids rifle that is a little more elusive . [/QUOTE]
