[QUOTE="iknowftbll, post: 934643, member: 47997"] I am very confident in my wife's ability to take an ethical shot out to about 100 yards. Like I said earlier, that is probably the limit here in Virginia anyway because of the vegetation. It is much more likely she will be taking a 50 yard shot. Another big factor to consider for us is the county where we hunt. A lot of Virginia counties do not allow rifle hunting, so we have to use a bow, black powder or shotgun. In addition to the .243 I'll be picking up an inexpensive 20 gauge at some point this spring. I'd like a 11-87 but will probably go with the 870. It's a good secondary gun for some of the more restrictive counties here in VA. It's going to feel good to get this gun out of the box, bore-sighted and out to the range. We'll tinker with different cartridges as they become available over the summer, and by late fall we'll both be ready to step out and bag some meat! [/QUOTE]
