Does any company make a chassis with an extremely short LOP?

I’d like to take my 4 yr old son shooting for the first time but he is still too small physically to handle his cricket. I’ve got several 10/22s, a CZ 452 and a Savage MKII. I’d like to find a chassis that will adjust extremely short and drop one of these rifles into it (ideally the MKII) so that he can shoot it properly. All shooting will be suppressed, from a bench and with 100% supervision, but I still want to make sure he can physically put it to his shoulder and align his eye with the scope.

Thanks for any advice
 
You can run a number of different aftermarket chassis which would accept an ar15 buffer tube' then you could run it fully collapsed. For the savage if it's an E model receiver Mcrees has a nice ar style compatible chassis.

Watch for the blemished ones to go on sale. I picked up 2 pretty cheap this winter. They didn't have any noticeable issues. A little paint and you aren't breaking the bank.
 
Knock 3" off the back of the cricket stock, then screw it back on when he's older. That's what I did and both my boys started shooting at 4

Savage Rascal? Thing is tiny. Just saw one at the LGS yesterday and thought of this thread.....

Pictures don't really portray how small it is. In person I felt like my 3 year old might beable to shoot it.

Only Savage I own and will only own. My 5 year old started shooting it just before his 4th birthday and he is on the smaller side.
 
I used the blackhawk axiom when my knuckleheads were tiny although i'm not sure its any shorter than a cricket, those things are tiny. The axiom is not without its drawbacks though, its super flexy. I pillared it up front and bedded it at the rear shelf where the 10/22 receiver rests. I had a kidd ULW barrel in it and it'd go under an 1" @ 50 with good ammo. PM me if you think it'll work, i'd like somebody else's yougsters to get some use out of it. A little dremel work may be in order near the rear shelf unless our receivers are pretty close dimensionally-Norcal911
