[QUOTE="jtkratzer, post: 627339, member: 40885"] At that range, another vote for .260. It's also going to be enough gun should she decide she wants to start shooting farther. The .260 should buck the wind better and carry more energy than the .243. Hardly kicks more (if at all) than a .30-30. However, a lot of guys I hunt with like the .243 for it's flat shooting and they don't reload, so they can get it off the shelf. I have one in a Model Seven and it's just under 8 lbs scoped. I certainly wouldn't want to start a kid/new shooter/new hunter out on something that may induce flinching early on in practice session. [/QUOTE]
