[QUOTE="greenejc, post: 1753787, member: 60453"] You said she's only 3 years old. I'd get the Grendel. The model 700 will probably be too heavy for her anyway, and you will want the lowest recoil possible. You might even look at the 256 Winchester Magnum, which is a 357 case necked down to 257 caliber. Its a very low recoil round in a rifle, but would be fun to shoot. Later, you could re-chamber the barrel for something like the 257 Roberts or the 25-06, after she's older. That would require a long action receiver, but modifying the follower length would take care of feeding until she's old enough to shoot the Roberts or others. [/QUOTE]
