[QUOTE="BillyMagg, post: 2740159, member: 60943"] Yep, noise and muzzle blast are a no fly, in fact if you are not hunting the .223 is a good place to start, with a longer barrel and heavier bullets,, I would almost guarantee she's goin g to be impressed,,, so .243 or 6 mm, .260 Rem are all in the ball park.. with a 22 to 24" barrel.. and not to nock Savage,, but Tikka or something similar... a lot of it is feel, and something physically smaller will fit her better,, and the pink will finish off the sale... But seriously, take her, and let her shoulder and operate all the rifles under consideration. I once bought a gorgeous old Browning with the Sako action and pencil barrel in 22-250,, it was the most beautiful, natural pointing rifle I have ever held or handled,,, yes I traded it on really, really nice 1956 Smith and Wesson 357 in a gold box,, and somebody else bought it before I could get back to "redeem" it...
