Rifle Stock question for you all Remington 700

[Luked]

Have a question for you all.
I have a Remington 700 in 243 that has the wood stock on it. Its pretty beat up over the years but the rifle shoots great.
My daughter is 12 and has hunted last year and is looking forward to this year already.
Right now she shoots a 300 Blk in an AR platform. And it does shoot well.
But I have been thinking it might be time to get her into the 243.
The problem is that its a full length stock. She's a little thing, hence the AR with the butt stock being adjustable for her.
But I also use the 243 as well for some predator hunting.

Is there a stock out there that is adjustable similar to the AR?
I could cut the wood stock down for her then just swap stocks if needed when I use it. But would prefer not to.

Any of you all have any ideas?

Just find a youth stock on ebay and swap them out. You could look at a chassis, but most of them will only go down to 13" or 13.5", which is similar to the Remington factory LOP, which is usually 13 3/8" unless a thicker recoil pad has been installed.

Yep, a cheap stock from eBay and then cut it down. I’ve done it many times!

I'm sure there's a chassis out there that will take a mil spec buffer tube and butt stock. Short of that, buy an old one and cut it down.

MDT LSS chassis with adjustable LOP. I have one I’ll make you a smoking deal on.

Boyds makes some adjustable stocks.

I had a short first wife with little alligator arms and shortening Remington stocks was something we did a lot of. A classic style stock is super easy to shorten and there are a lot of them out there for cheap. I’ve picked up a few Bell and Carlson classic style stocks the past few years for less than $75 each.

Remington makes/made youth models for the 700 for a long time. The SPS comes to mind specifically. As others have said, you could search eBay or wherever for a take off youth synthetic stock, use that for a while, and then put the full size one back on if you need.

Alternatively, if you think your daughter's not going to get much bigger, just cut the wood stock down and that'll be the permanent solution. No shortage of 700 stocks on the market if you change your mind.
