I picked up my son's 7th birthday present from the gunsmith yesterday. A .223 Tikka compact cut and threaded to 16.5". I disassembled, degreased, and put it all back together last night. I added some UM micro height rings and a Trijicon Credo 3x9 on top. Hell, I'm a bit jealous, this would be the perfect truck gun. I have to wait until september but I can't wait to take him to the range and see if he can ring some steel with it.
I've been debating whether a chassis would be beneficial for him or not and I'm still undecided. After handling the rifle, I like it with the compact stock but I want to follow along to see how your daughter likes her chassis. Thanks for making the post and can't wait to follow along. It's fun seeing other kiddos enjoy what we do too.
