[QUOTE="Nikolakangrga, post: 615076, member: 17854"] Well guys, my wife has been around hunting her whole life but never got into it. She finally decided she wants to step into the life style so I am planning on setting her up with a rifle. Recoil is not a HUGE issue but i would like something she is very comfortable with. It also needs to be the one rifle she can use for anything in the states she may want to hunt out to 300 yards. This is what I have come up with. Tikka t3 lite 7mm-08 Possibly cut the barrel down to 18.5" or 19" (for easier handling) Have the barrel magn a ported because she doesn't like the look of muzzle breaks B&C stock (have it bedded) Drop the trigger down to 3lbs Trijicon Accupoint 3-9x40 Talley one-piece lightweight rings And thinking about setting it up with the 140gr accubonds. What do you guys think about what I've planned out? I will also have the stock shortened up for her LOP. I really want it to be set up for her so she is very comfortable with it. Don't want a stupid reason for her not enjoying "the hunt". Also what do you guys think the recoil would be like from this setup? Thanks guys, Nick [/QUOTE]
