When my son was young, I thought he needs a youth rifle. So I got him a 457 scout and then a 527 Youth. He VERY quickly outgrew the scout stock. He actually never even fired the 527, so it got sold.
He also got sentimental about his first rifle, so that kept me from pulling the action and putting it in a chassis.
For his next rifle, I immediately put it in and XLR Element 3.0. He is still shooting that same rifle even after many growth spurts and being taller than me.
