Can an adult size stock be put on it?

He is already shooting a 7mm-08, either replace the stock with an adult stock, or just buy a new 7mm-08. I have several custom built gun's, but hunt with a Ruger American Predator in 308 win. It's a tack driver with 165 gmx ammo.
That Ruger American .308 is a tack driver, wife bought me one several years ago

I'd look at a Savage Axis in 350 Legend. Way more knockdown power and still minimal recoil. You can pick one up for under $400
