[QUOTE="CLP308, post: 625620, member: 30319"] Thanks for all of great info. The .308 model Seven I have is under 7 lbs with the scope. Recoil with 110gr bullets loaded down is bearable, but I don't want to cause her to start flinching. The rifle I get her will also be that light. What about loading the .270 wsm with a 6.8 lighter hunting bullet at velocities just over the 6.8 to start? If you use a 100gr bullet @ 3200fps the recoil should be barely more than the 243. Then if we draw an elk tag I can load it up. Hart has a hunting brake that is a little less noisy and still works. She got her first deer this year with my old 788 .243, but she can't hold the rifle up and has to use a bipod or rest because it's about 9lbs with scope. The 788 is a great rifle, just really heavy. Thanks again. [/QUOTE]
