[QUOTE="hitsthemark, post: 167132, member: 3145"] [b]I second that motion[/b] I also would recommend the .308. The venerable 30-06 is also not a bad choice but to get an appreciable difference you might have to get a rifle heavier and more cumbersome than she would be happy with. Using a .308, she will have a very large variety of actions and models and will certainly find one that fits perfectly. That fit, along with the modest recoil will equal much more practice with said rifle and practice that will be enjoyable. Many rifles, including the .308 will kill large Browns or Grizzlies at 300 yards, but I would bet that most guides would advise against shots that long at DANGEROUS animals, regardless of calibre. Good luck with your search! [/QUOTE]
