Length of Pull

A shorter L.O.P. than needed, will absolutely effect shooting performance, especially on quick shots where the rifle has to be brought into play and fired very quickly. A rifle has to fit the shooter to shoot well for that shooter. Felt recoil also increases when the stock doesn't fit well.

Cutting the length of the stock or the barrel is not the right way to reduce the weight of a rifle. You want to cut down on weight without cutting down on performance.

13.5" is what works for me. I wouldn't want one any longer or shorter. I have a friend who has his all cut or made to 12.75 or 13" for deer hunting because 90% of the time he has a heavy coat on and the shorter pull works great, for HIM.

You could get the Youth stock and put a slip on recoil pad on it if it's too short.

Funny you mentioned. I just ordered the Handi Rifle in a youth model on Friday. I plan on buying an replacement stock. My length of pull is 13 and 1/2 inches. I figure I'm closer to the 14 and 1/4" adult stock then the 11 and 3/4" youth stock.

I wanted the youth model because it's the only one in their line that offers 223 caliber with iron sights. Plus it's a shorter barrel. The adult version is slightly longer barrel without iron sights.
