Because the Junior is shorter and better ballanced for the more petite shooter, adding weight to the butt brings the ballance back and makes it even better. Weight is rarely an issue for the shorter shooter, length and ballance point is. Now these old rifles are classics and owners are more reluctant to shorten them so it is perfectly logical to look for a Junior

If your 17 year old shoots reasonable with a full size rifle think how much better she may be with a rifle that fits!
Do you think its just a fashion that modern rifles rifles are adjustable in length? Rifles such as the 300s were made long to fit the average person, any one who was any good then alterered it to fit, and having spent the last 40 years sawing bits off of rifles I can assure you its very important to get the fit correct.
Good Shooting
