For some reason Ruger made a nice handy rifle for 7 ft. Gangly armed shooters. You would think with everything in proportion the length of pull would be about 13 inches. Especially when you have to work the bolt. Original factory stock rides on my shoulder and moves the entire rifle while working the action. My other bolt action doesn't do that but it's on a chassis and doesn't move much.
Trying to figure out how to shorten the material and keep the rubber butt pad. Thanks.

When Ruger introduces another caliber RARR, they typically also offer a compact version (shorter stock) for a few months and then discontinue it. They have also offered, at least in the past, the shorter stock by itself in black. The length of pull will be something like 12.5" instead of 13.x". I've been able to obtain the short stocked 350, 5.56, and Blackout RARR's, but they are hard to obtain unless ordered right as introduced.
Just checked the shop ruger website; compact stock not listed. In that case, I'd call Ruger and ask when it will be back in stock...you never know, you might run into a very supportive employee who happens to know of one to send you. Another thought is go to the Tell The CEO Ruger website and tell the CEO politely what you want and why. In the case of a part for my SR556 Takedown (that Ruger policy was not to ship a customer, but I saw no reason not to ship it), the CEO then called their NC factory and told a manager to make it happen, and I got a call from the manager...it did take about 5 months, as they were going to put the machine that was used to make it into storage, but I got my extra part.
