[QUOTE="Nikolakangrga, post: 687011, member: 17854"] My wife is just getting into hunting and I've decided it was time to get her a rifle she can call her own. We decided on a Tikka t3 lite 7mm-08 Bell and Carlson stock Trijicon Accupoint (crosshair with dot) Her shots will be within 0-300 yards TOPS. 99% of all shots will be within 150 yards. I would like to load up one bullet she can rely on for blacktail deer, hogs (50lbs - 350lbs) and black bear. I will stress shot placement and PRACTICE to her but would also like a bullet which will reliably do the job on all three game animals with a behind the shoulder shot. I have never been big on shoulder shots due to meat loss. I was thinking about trying the 120gr ttsx but I'm not sure if they would be reliable without hitting heavy bone. Losing a deer or any animal happens to all of us atleast once but I would like to reduce the chance of failure for my wife as I want hunting to be a happy positive experience for her. Thanks all for your input Nick [/QUOTE]
