I have a rem. 700 22-250 sporter and I want to put a youth stock on for my grandson. Have only been able to locate some wood stocks for varmint or heavy barrels. I intend to cut it to fit him. Any advice Last edited by ddurst; 02/13/14.

Accuracy is better for these 2 rifles in varmint stock rather than regular hunting stock. There are no pressure points affecting the bbl and the stock fits me better.

Any advice Depends on how big he is. Is the forend too fat for him to hold? Why not place an ad in the classifieds for a SPS synthetic youth stock. Remington was selling those guns with two stocks, a youth and a full size, to fit as they grow deal. Gotta be an extra out there for you.
