MKII Savage synthetic stock is short enough that I added a 1" recoil pad to mine, instead of messing with spacers. Length of pull was kind of good for my scrawny 12yo boy, but the weight of the heavy barrel was not.
A higher-end Savage stock will usually not have as short a length of pull.
I met a family at the range one day that had cut down their rifle's stock to short enough for their youngest kid. They bought a universal plastic butt plate from Brownell's and ground it to fit. As kiddo grew, the thin plastic was replaced with successively thicker recoil pads. When the rifle was too short for the kid, he receive a new rifle and the cut down rifle, complete with its set of recoil pads, was passed along within the family. I had the pleasure of meeting boys seven and eight years old, the fourth generation.
For info: the stocks of most .22s taper to the butt. The original butt plate will not cover the cut. It is best to makes some measurements and get the Brownell's plate before making the cut.
Edit to add: take a good look at lace on cheek pieces. Small faces must get up off most stocks to align an eye with irons sights, even higher off the stock for a scope. A "cheek weld" is a real part of marksmanship.
