I picked up The Gen 2 Lss-xl chassis on sale for black Friday. I'm putting together a .223 based on a savage 12 fv action for my nephew whos 7. I know theres better out there but I like the 3 position safety and the ability to easily grow with him as needed. I was going to have the barrel cut down to 18" or 20" for ease of handling when in the treestand and weight but didn't know how the gun would balance. Anyone with a Lss-xl make suggestions on barrel length?
 
I’ve got one with a Howa 20” heavy barrel in it, the balance is pretty nice. A little front heavy but not drastically
