[B BTW, thin and klanky is good. it means that as long as he holds the rifle properly, he'll roll with the recoil and not get hurt. At 12, I looked like a soda straw and was shooting a 30-30, .270 Win. and 30-06 without too much discomfort. I think it's more important that the rifle fit the boy, even if you have to cut the stock down some to fit him. [/B]

Very good post all the way around, but the excerpt above is worth repeating,.... so I did.
