[QUOTE="Frog4aday, post: 1758365, member: 9308"] I like the .270 WSM and if you were looking at it for [U]YOU[/U], then I'd be more onboard. But its a 'kicker' in a rifle light enough for your wife to handle easily. Thankfully, you've hunted with a .25 caliber and know what it can do. More punch than a .243 Win on the business end with not much more punch on your wife's end. It is a good step up for her without being too much to handle. Just out of curiosity, I checked what calibers you can get the Weatherby Vanguard Camilla in and this is it: [ATTACH=full]158674[/ATTACH] Of those, the 6.5 CM would be a great choice, but you said you aren't going there. That being the case, next 'best' would be the 7mm-08 Rem, firing a light-for-caliber mono-bullet like a Barnes 110 or 120gr TTSX. And even then, I worry it might be "too much". Won't know until she tries it. [ATTACH=full]158681[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
