Question Scope set up for young shooter

My 7 year old son has been my hunting buddy for the past couple years. Now he is wanting to shoot his own trophy. I have an H&R handi rifle in .223 and a 7mm-08. I also have a .243 that he could use.

I have taken him shooting a couple of times however, I am at a loss on how to set it up so that he can use the scope without getting a black eye. I know that the "length of pull" has a lot to do with his ability to see through the scope while properly shouldering the gun.


What can I do to improve his success without creating fear of getting busted in the face by the scope.

Is there a simple fix for this type of issue without having to purchase a custom stock?

Will a red dot or holographic sight work on a center fire rifle? Other (legal) technology suggestions?
