[QUOTE="Southwind, post: 625641, member: 22614"] My vote would be for a .243. I own both and hunt quite a bit with my 270 wsm but just think for starting out given the parameters you set the .243 would be a great rifle for her. It is also easier to find a wide variety of reasonably priced factory ammo in the 243. I started my son with one (.243 weatherby vanguard) and he hunts deer, antelope, and coyotes and as he grew he has stuck with it rather than bumping up to a larger caliber. He just really likes the rifle and feels comfortable with it. I lean smaller not knowing recoil sensitivity of a person. This is a topic I have never fully understood. I have never had a problem with recoil at anytime but know full grown men that complain about a 25-06 while I have seen some petite women handle some very large calibers without any problem. [/QUOTE]
