My grand daughter is short statured with a full figure. I bought a standard Marlin XLS rifle in .270. And then put a short LOP Boyd's laminated stock on the rifle. LOP was good. And lack of "curve" in the butt stock did not seem to bother her. Heft of the laminated stock helps mitigate recoil. Kept the factory XLS stock in the unlikely case she wants to change it out in the future.
