Youth Stock for Howa 1500?

[blipelt]

I picked up a Howa 1500 223 stainless steel with a Hogue Overmold for my Daughter who is 9. The Length of pull is 13.87" which is to long for her. I have been looking around for a laminate or fiberglass stock for her. I want something other than the youth Hogue for a little more flash for her. Any ideas?

good for you getting her a rifle. if you order a stock frm manners or McMillan, you can get any LOP and some offer pink as a color option, deer cant see that spectrum and pink guns work fine.
some laminate makers like boyds or stockys have some wild pattern as well.
another option would be to keep the hogue, have it fitted, and then painted with your daughter picking the colors and pattern.
but remember, buy once and cry once. she's gonna grow, and buying a quality stock and having it fitted to her allows for spacers to adjust the LOP and will literally give you more bang for the buck--cam

the Axiom stock would be great, it will grow with her.

• Dual recoil-compensation systems deliver maximum recoil reduction
• Rugged, fiberglass-reinforced polymer construction with aluminum pillar bedding
• 11.25” to 15.25” length-of-pull
• Completely free-floated barrel channel fits all barrel diameters

I have one and it's great, my 10 year old boy shoots my .243 without any problems, even does sub MOA when lying down.
