[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 930684, member: 30902"] If she can consistently put it where it belongs the caliber choices are endless. If you want to go with something relatively new and cool the .260 rem is a great choice. If you want to go with tried and true and a little more gas build a .264wm on the Winnie action going with a 26-28" barrel in a number three or four contour. Put a Snowy Mountain Rifles Muzzle brake on either and something like the Precision Stock Works Stock with a good piece of glass on top and she'll love you forever and be very proud of her rifle every time she looks or thinks of it. The 6.5's really rule the world when it comes to everything up to and including Elk and Moose. The 6.5x55 is still a huge favorite in Europe and has taken just about every species of critter in North America, Europe, and Africa absent the most dangerous and heaviest bodied animals such as cape buff and Grizzlies in huge numbers. It's probably taken as much if not more medium and large game than even the venerable 30-06. We have of course so many options in the 6.5's it can get pretty dizzying but here in N. America the .260 Rem and .264wm are the way I'd go, heck I have gone that way six times now LOL. As someone else mentioned felt recoil goes up quite a bit as the weight of the rifle goes down and I'd venture to say it has more to do with shooter comfort/recoil sensitivity than even the chosen caliber. The Snowy Mountain Rifles Muzzle brake though will tame the beast quite well while still being very easy on the shooter with respect to blast and noise. You wouldn't be here asking if you didn't think she is pretty special so make sure you make this gift something special for her. [/QUOTE]
