[QUOTE="Sgt. grizz, post: 1690673, member: 106784"] Howa 308s are a great shooter; but that being said I would ask how big is your wife? mine is only 5’3 and tiny so don’t think I would put her behind a lighter 308, I would use a 6.5 cm. In fact that’s what my wife dose shoot. I started her out at 100yd and at the end of the day she was shooting 700, the following week we started out at 500 yard and went to 1000. now I know not all ranges go that far out mine goes to 1400. But she love it. But I also know she would of only shoot my 308 howa once and probably never would want to shoot again. The 6.5 was on a nice AR10 with a vortex razed gen two and it’s a heavy gun. I just built her a custom 6.5 on a old 03a3 action I had laying around and a wood target stock and timminey trigger. Get her out there but I would start slow with a light kicker unless you know she can Handel it. [/QUOTE]
