Overview
This youth sporter-style stock is built for short-action rifles in the Howa 1500, Weatherby Vanguard, Smith & Wesson 1500, and Mossberg 1500 patterns with standard barrel contour. It pairs a cheekpiece with a no-checkering exterior and a full aluminum bedding block that runs from the grip to the front swivel stud, with no pressure pad or free-floating setup. A 1-inch Pachmayr Decelerator recoil pad and 12.5-inch length of pull make it a practical option for smaller-framed shooters or hunters setting up a youth rifle. At approximately 2.0 pounds, it keeps the focus on fit and control rather than added bulk.

Considerations & Trade-offs
- Designed as a youth model with a 12.5-inch length of pull, so it is sized for smaller shooters rather than full-length adult use.
- Fits multiple short-action rifles, but only those listed and only with standard barrel contour, so compatibility should be verified before ordering.
- The sporter-style stock has a cheekpiece but no checkering, which may be a trade-off for shooters who prefer added grip texture.
- It uses a full aluminum bedding block with no pressure pad/free floating, so the stock’s setup is fixed rather than adjustable for different preferences.
