[QUOTE="catamountsierra, post: 1868852, member: 79865"] I probably could have gotten something else, but already having the reloading equipment and good success with the 7mm-08, I thought that would be a good place to start. Even at full power, the recoil is quite manageable, though the Remington definitely weighs more than that little American does. At the same time, I think I can let her grow into the gun's full potential and she could end up with a rifle that will suit her for many years. A Boyds stock and new barrel down the road could turn it into a lot more than it is now, though that compact size and the lightweight 2-7x32 Nikon that I put on it is quite appealing in itself. It sounds like most of the 120gr bullets should work at the shorter ranges even loaded down, but I did send Hornady a message asking about that new 120gr FTX. If that was designed for the 7-30 Waters, it should be just about right, given that those are the rough velocities I think I will end up around. [/QUOTE]
