[QUOTE="shimoda, post: 930949, member: 10112"] Everything mentioned would be a fine choice although I personally would go bigger than .25 if elk were on the menu and I had a choice. I have two rifles that I have been considering listing for sale that would be great choices for a female shooter. Recoil is very tame and a brake would make it a non issue all together. Keep an eye out in the classifieds or send me a PM. One is a 7x57AI. 700 action, Shilen 9" twist 24", McMillan stock, timney trigger, Burris rings, 20moa base, Zeiss conquest 4.5-14 w/z-1000. Less than 150 rounds. I've done very little load work, but everything through it is sub moa. Shoots Nosler ALR 150s (I found some and had to try them), 162 Amax and 168 bergers all at impressive speeds w/ RE17 and I haven't pushed anything yet to find top end. Dies, brass(Norma) and maybe the remaining Long Range Accubonds would go with it. The other is a factory 700 mountain rifle in 260 rem w/ dbm. Full accuracy package by Montour County Rifles. I haven't shot it since the accuracy work was done (3years ago), but it shot moa prior with both factory ammo and my quickie Nosler Partition loads. 60 rounds fired. Pretty gun, walnut stock. I just don't have time to play with everything, and when I do have range time I spend most of it behind my other 260 or STW. I do love the 6.5s [/QUOTE]
