“We plan to make a youth model with a short LOP that comes with the spacer kit to grow with your child. Any input on minimum LOP would be great so we know where to start.”

I'd buy one for the kid's vanguard. The current plan is to chop the stocks VG that is on it.

Here's 10"

Probably should have just made a poll.

As much as you can squeeze! Adjustable cheek comb for kids is arguably more important for kids than adults. "finding" the scope, FOV and target acquisition is a struggle with the youth. The market needs a good affordable youth stock especially for Tikkas.

I use a MDT chassis with at Magpul AR style stock for youth, it has a 5 or 6 position stock with interchangeable cheek rests. All the way collapsed its 10.5" extended 13.75" The 10.5" seems to be great for per hunting age youth, prone with 5-8 year old have sub 10 second target acquisition time with this setup. Bonus is it fits adults too.

FWIW, my 6 year old likes right around 10.5" LOP as well.

10.5”

Yeah 10-10.5 is right for 6 year olds. Recently went though this with shotguns.

10.5-11” would be a good place to start. The tikka compact stock is just a bit large for my 8 year old but he can still shoot it off a tripod.

Yall need to be listing your kids height, not age. My 6 year old is the size of some 12 year olds, and thanks to youth wrestling I've seen 110# 8 year olds.

10" is pretty small, I have a cricket that's cut about that short, it's worked for kids down to 39". But, there are issues being that short, namely eye relief. Their heads take up room and have some thickness.

Maybe we could get a chart going for height and arm length. I have some data from 2 boys and XLR chassis. I'm going to chop a t3x stock soon and add a dowel system or some other arrangement.

Can you post pictures of this please? I am planning something similar as well.

Not sure if your looking at reducing the trigger reach as well. That's been just as important the shorter lop with my kids.

Maybe worth doing a multiple spacer system versus just the single spacer like the Tikka.

The regular Rokstok worked surprisingly well for my small 6 year old and he could shoot prone, I tried with a regular Tikka stock and after a minute or so she just said "I can't."
