Tikka Youth LOP Options - 01/07/19
Unfortunately, my 11 year old son is a lefty. What's that all about, anyway? No lefties anywhere in the family.
I bought him a T3x hunter in 6.5x55, the caliber he was shooting anyway. I knew the LOP would be too long - he needs about 12" today, and, the T3x is quite a bit longer than that.I bought him wood because I want him to develop an appreciation for wood, as opposed to the plastic.
I need to do something, and, as I see it here are my choices.
1 - Cut down the original stock, and, when he outgrows it figure out what to do next at that time.
2 - Try to find a plastic takeoff from a T3 or T3x and cut that down, saving the wood.
3 - Try to find a new or used aftermarket for the T3 or T3x that can be shortened by the manufacturer or by me.(Lefty and short LOP seems to be a problem except from McMillan?)
What would the 'fire do in this situation? For some reason I'm paralyzed!
