[QUOTE="SBruce, post: 715894, member: 21068"] You're welcome. Best of luck to you and the daughter, I think it's great she's interested in hunting. I wish we could get more ladies interested in not only hunting, but shooting in general. The antigunners would have alot harder time getting anything done with alot of women on "our" side. If you think the 270 or 6.5-284 will work for her, I'd be concerned about an 8lb rifle kicking too hard. Probably better off with a 260 or light loads in 7-08 with a light rifle. IMO. I friend of mine is also a fairly big guy, about 6' tall and 260 lbs. He shoots with a Past recoil pad between his shoulder and the gun when he shoots his 8# 280 for practice, he says it isn't any fun without it. Something about those light rifles in long action calibers that seem to punch pretty good sometimes. Take Care, [/QUOTE]
