[QUOTE="Bigeclipse, post: 1041958, member: 52437"] Her current rifle is a Ruger m77 mark ii in 243. For how small this thing feels it is freaking heavy! She does fine with it but dang it is heavier than the synthetic savage 110 we will be using by a lot. Im sure its because of rugers laminate stock. I don't have a scale and I do realize the Savage tupperware stocks are light but if we can keep this rifle build to no more than the weight of her current ruger she will be happy. I will look into the shilen sporter barrel for sure! I do reload and was thinking 260 but the first poster has me considering 7mm08 Will the shilen regular sporter contour barrels at least hold a decent 3 shot group? I can't see her needing more than that out in the field. She has shot over 8 deer so far and I think she shot 3 times once at 245 yards at her first deer...since then she has only needed one shot.
