I bought a really nice Remington 700 for my 14yr old. it's an ADL "Varmint" in .308, with a 26 inch barrel. My son is 130 lbs and the rifle is a bit heavy for him. What would we lose if we have the Barrel shortened to say, uh, 20 inches? it would probably lose 2 pounds (it is a heavy Barrel)
or, should I just put it off, and hope he grows into it.
it's a phenomenal rifle with groups under an inch at 100 yards, even with the crappy scope that came with it. is it just a velocity issue?
thanks in advance
