[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1515292, member: 12995"] There is no such thing as "inherent accuracy". Any cartridge can be accurate. Accuracy is up to the rifle. Consistency is up to the ammo. Repeatability is up to the shooter. And all of this is only as good as the quality of the components, how well they're put together, and the person who pulls the trigger. .260 Remington will be hard to beat... Lapua makes brass for it, and 6.5mm bullets have a large selection. Low recoil, good velocity, and with a good shot and within a reasonable distance, shouldn't have any issues dropping anything in North America (other than bears, of course). The 7mm-08 is also a great one. .308 Win is one of my favorites, but most women won't want to handle the recoil of the .308 Win with the type of bullets that really make it shine. Not sure what the rifle weight requirement is, but if you don't plan on hiking with it, the Remington 700 5R Milspec chambered in .260 Rem is a hell of a rifle for a factory gun. The 5R Milspec rifles are not your average 700. [URL]https://www.midwayusa.com/product/525930/remington-700-5-r-gen-2-rifle-threaded-fluted-hs-precision[/URL] [/QUOTE]
