[QUOTE="Northkill, post: 2620990, member: 110890"] How far does your wife want to shoot? My son is running the 124 HH in his 6.5 PRC right at 3,400 fps. It'll easily out-penetrate my 7-LRM running 180 Hybrids at 3k... (we've proven it) If she's shooting beyond 600 yds, the balance starts to shift... My thoughts would lean toward the 7 SAUM or the 6.8 Western. For keeping the rifle light and short, those shorter efficient cases will give you the gas "with a smaller tank"... So many options...that's the good thing. :) I'm sure you'll find something she's happy with. And if not, you get to build or buy another one. 🤠 [/QUOTE]
