[QUOTE="dfrahm, post: 1952333, member: 55117"] Understand you don't want a 6.5 CM, but what does your wife want? Do you have a buddy or 3 who would let her shoot 2 or 3 different calibers without her knowing which was which and then ask her for her favorite? It won't be quite that easy with stock differences, optics etc. but you know what I mean - kind of a blind test for her preference. I'd suggest yet another 'old' caliber to 400 yards that would be in a light rifle, the .243 with a nice 3x9 scope. Ammo is available and in many size bullets.... A friend's mother shot the biggest elk either of us has ever seen with one, if you are considering how powerful this rifle needs to be. Just some more input for your consideration - let us know what you end up doing:) [/QUOTE]
