[QUOTE="Rimfire, post: 166408, member: 8839"] I would get her out and shoot several of the calibers mentioned if you have access to them. I think that will determine what you can hunt. On a small frame or recoil shy I vote for a 7-08 with a 175 smk. BUT I wouldn't personally hunt Griz with it. Certain animals gain respect and kind of go along with hard kicking rifles, and I would put a Griz on that short list. As for Africa Plains game in an open area such as the Eastern Cape can be taken with a light lo recoil rifle such as a 7-08 Although an Ealand would be pushing the envelope. In the thick areas I would shoot a mid or big bore to anchor them. [/QUOTE]
