[QUOTE="Buckskinner, post: 1502161, member: 99929"] I had a similar issue with my 10 year old daughter hunting for the first time this season. She is a skinny little thing and worried that the wind will blow her away, much less recoil... Thought about using a 223, but totally against my better judgement for caliber choice. Then thought about 25-06 in Sendero. I think she could handle the recoil, but it is a bit sharp. Decided on a Rem PCR in 6.5CM, heavy gun but we are in a blind and really not much heavier than the Sendero. Extremely mild recoil and the best out of the box shooting rifle I've seen. First and worst group after zero with factory Nosler BT 140s was .720", best was .275". and that was my fouler group! For the record, I've never shot a group under .3" in my life... What's also nice about it is that the stock is so adjustable to the shooter, really helps with the little ones. She has no issue shooting this rifle and thinks it's cool looking especially when her brothers are drooling over it... Excited to shoot it now that I have my dies and components in house. [/QUOTE]
