[QUOTE="ntsqd, post: 1690679, member: 93138"] Stock fit has been mentioned a few times, but I'm going to mention it again. A stock that fits HER will be your best bet. The obvious aside, women's anatomy can be different in unexpected places. There was a post in a recent thread that discussed stock fit for women and what to look out for. Wish that I could recall where it is. If you're determined to change the chambering I'd look at 7mm-08 or 6.5 CM, otherwise I too would leave it alone. At least until it's shown to be a desirable change for her. For an OEM trigger I'm pretty happy with what my 1500 Mini came with. I have a Timney for it, but not sure that I'll use it. It is an easy swap so I will probably at least try it out. This 1500 Mini of mine has their LW barrel contour. I've yet to paper it, and have only shot maybe 20 rounds. First two shots out of a cold barrel were easily in a 2" square box at 100 yds from a standing position. One could say "Intrinsically accurate" in that it hit the target without effort. Third shot tended to move. Let it cool down and it was back to POA. I've since pillar bedded the Boyd's stock to remove some stock contact with the barrel and have it apart for Cerakote or I could comment on how it shoots now. [/QUOTE]
