Newer AXIS XP stock?

[medic1075]

So, a local store was having a sale on the AXIS XP package (scoped), so I jumped on one chambered in .243 for my son to use for hunting this fall. A quick google search while in the store lead me to believe that these rifles with the new stock design had an adjustable LOP, making it perfect you a cheap youth gun. When I got home, I found that I think I may have been wrong. While there is an insert between the recoil pad and the actual stock, the stock cannot be assemble without it and I can't seem to find any options for a smaller insert.

What are my options here? Am I missing something or do I need to drop another $100 on a youth stock?

Finally, on an unrelated issue, after just 5 shots the reticle came loose in the scope. Now I am debating if I want to go through the hassle of a warranty claim or if I just want to try to epoxy it back in place.

God I still love the boy, he is as unique as they get times 10000

I would also contact Savage and get a replacement scope.
