[QUOTE="Tikkamike, post: 526337, member: 22242"] I have to disagree, a well constructed stock will take the sharpness out of recoil and it will just be a light shove. And if you are concerned about recoil why would you recommend a .284 over a .243? a 243 has more than enough killing ability for this little girl. and the 80-100 grain bullets will hammer a deer no problem. I wouldn't make the mistake of trying to give her more gun to make up for a beginners error I would stick to the best fit and minimal recoil because the more comfortable she is with the rifle the better the shot will be. And keeping it light is key because no 12 year old little girl wants to tote a 8-9 lb rifle through the woods/hills. On a side note tikka makes super light and super accurate rifles. They even make an ultra light now with a fluted barrel, and if you feel the recoil is too much throw a harrels brake on it they cost $30 dollars and are very effective and well Made.
