I've been thinking about getting one of these with the youth stock for introducing my grandsons to center-fire calibers. Deer hunting for them is less than certain since hunting here in western OR, sucks.

My concern was that I wouldn't be able to replace the stock later on when the youth model becomes too short for them. It looks like the good old boys at Boyds solved that one...

I can see getting one if it's the rifle you can afford then add the stock later as funds allow and then the trigger.

BTW, a home made snap cap and a few hours of dry firing while watching TV will smooth out many a heavy trigger...
