BUILDING THE BEST YOUTH HUNTING RIFLE

Building the best youth hunting rifle.

Finding a quality youth hunting rifle is few and far between. Most of the time, they feature components that do not fit youth shooters properly. Although kids can overcome these fitment issues for youth models, it can result in bad habits being developed in their shooting fundamentals.

Chassis rifles are the best solution to these fitment issues. Depending on their age, young hunters can require a short length of pull, so our TR-2 is the perfectbuttstock for the young ones. In the standard configuration, the TR-2 buttstock goes down to a 12-inch length of pull. With the short buffer tube, you can run the buttstock down to a 10.5-inch length of pull. At 10.5", the buttstock is short enough to work for almost any kid who is old enough to shoot a big game rifle.

Length of pull for kids rifles.

The best part about theTR-2 is the length of pull can also be extended out for adults to shoot the rifle. So once your children grow up, the rifle will still fit them perfectly. We have all seen the kid's rifle that sits in the back of the safe to collect dust, but that is no longer an issue.

Rifle weight for custom kids rifle.

The TR-2 is a little heavier than our carbon buttstock, but you can still build a lightweight rifle with its features. An Element 4.0 Magnesium, carbon grip, and TR-2 buttstock hits the scales at 41 oz! When you drop a Bergara or Tikka T3 barreled action into the chassis, you will have a light enough to carry but very shootable rifle.

RECOIL SENSITIVE SHOOTERS PAD FOR YOUTH CHASSIS RIFLES

The TR-2 features a LimbSaver recoil pad. Not only is this pad thick and squishy, but it also features LimbSaver's Air Tech technology. "LimbSaver'sAirTech line features atmospheric chambers that substantially increase performance through uniform energy dissipation, and it incorporates anti-muzzle jump technology for faster target re-acquisition. The recoil pad enables you to shoot longer without discomfort and bruising while helping to increase the accuracy of follow-up shots and provide improved control for maximum stability."

Adjustable buttstock for kids rifles.

The TR-2 buttstock is an excellent all-around buttstock, but the adjustability shines when young shooters need a youth hunting rifle that fits them perfectly. Kids and new shooters all around the country are already utilizing these buttocks, and they will be through their adult years. Don't make your kids grow into their rifles, get a firearm that fits from the start.
