Stock for Women

[Scalian]

Im looking for suggsetions for a stock for my GF. Looking for something that is light weight and short to put together a hunting rifle for her she is short like 5'4

Other than the womens hunter stock.

Just wondering if anyone has any good experiances.

I would get a boyds, cut the stock down some and you can router in the fore end to remove weight. Or buy a Savage lady hunter rifle

If you really want a stock for your girlfriend, I would have to see a picture of her first. Sorry, I could not resist that.

Lol what is she doing out of the kitchen??

Just kidding, were cutting 2" off one of the accustock that I have laying around for my 5'2" wife.

Just because she is short does not mean you need a smaller stock.
What determines proper stock length is the length of her upper arm and forearm.

Also remember that a lighter rifle generally has more felt recoil.

Cutting some length off the butt reduces the length of pull. Do it carefully so the cut is true, and then fit a grind-to-fit recoil pad like a Kick-Eeze or Decelerator.

Have you looked for youth stocks? That might work for you with no modification.

Pick up one of the youth model walnut stocks from numrich for $60 bucks. Its a nice smaller stock scaled proportionately and is pretty handy. The short action centerfeeds 4.4 spacing are the easiest to find.
