To start things off, I'm not a fire arms connoisseur as my SO and I prefer to hunt with archery equipment, but this year I decided to buy and put together a do-all hunting rifle. I decided to go with a Christensen Arms Ridgeline FFT in 7PRC. It's my first "premium" rifle and scope, Nightforce NXS 5.5-22. It meets all my wants and needs and we both shoot it very well from a bench and we both enjoy shooting it.
The problem that I'm facing is that she is a small lady, 5'2", and she can't shoot it comfortably standing as the stock is too long. I have done some research but I haven't been able to find a rifle that is similar to what I have but has a shorter LOP.
What would you gents recommend for a stock? If there is one that is similar to the Ridgeline with a shorter LOP or will I have to buy one and have it shortened?
This will probably be the only hunting rifle she owns and uses so I'm leaning towards a 6.5PRC or 6.8 Western. I'm okay with spending what I have into mine but I'm not looking to spend on a custom gun.
I would like to hear your folks inputs.
