In need of adjustable stock.

Guys,
I am in the process of building a custom 223. Purpose is to let younger kids get behind an accurate rifle. As I will be letting any youngster that shows interest, we will need a stable adjustable stock to allow for various length of pull. I want the stock to be able to fit anyone that wants to try it. Thinking 11 to 13.5 inches. Gonna name it the "Fishing Pole" as my intention is to "hook" as many young shooters as possible with it.

A scout rifle works great for your intentions.

Left or right eye dominant and length of pull are all solved by this.

I built my son years ago a 7x57 Mauser with forward pistol/scout scope and my wife used it also.they both hunted with it and what was really fun listening to them arguing who shot best.lol

He was around 7 yrs old at start but they both shot it great no problem.the wife is left eye dominant also

He's been out of marines awhile now.not so little anymore

I know if I were a young kid, I would want to be shooting the rifle with this on it :P
3 way buttplate, they have them on Ebay that also fit a Boyds Varmint stock
 
Honestly, AR15 style collapsible stock provides the most adjustment and push of a button and immediately can fit an 8yo or 18yo shooter. This is what has been best with our kids and friends.

Take a look at MDT LSS-XL chassis, which is equipped to screw on a buffer tube and stock. No stock shims to deal with. A longer forearm eliminates the issue with repositioning a shooting bags while inexperienced kid handles the rifle.

I've got a new 1 of these I got in a package deal I'd donate to the project.
It's the hardware only no recoil pad.
