When my daughter was ready, I purchased a Savage Axis in 270WIN which is what I shoot. It came with the standard crappy synthetic stock (way too flexible). I bought a laminated stock from Boyd's in a colour she wanted, and fitted it to her. Iit is a tack driver now, and the heavier stock makes shooting it enjoyable for her. Although heavier than the synthetic, it a relatively easy carry for her. In the future, I'll just add spacers if they are needed.
