[QUOTE="Laguna Freak, post: 1952439, member: 87188"] When I read your OP, I first wondered about the chambering. Because she is already a shooter, you might be ok with a magnum or higher velocity non-magnum but you might not. You might think about going old school, used, in case she doesn't like the first one. You know, feminine mind-changing and all. .243, .270, 7mm-08, .308 all come to mind as light recoiling effective chamberings. On the other hand, we all like folks who contribute lightly used bad-@$$ magnum rifles to the used firearms market. 🙂 That's how I got a screamin' deal on an introductory year Model 70 FW 300 WSM. Looks like it might have fired a box of ammo and the LOP was 13". Sure, I had to make a butt spacer but it just dressed up an already very sexy rifle.[ATTACH type="full" alt="M70.jpg"]206421[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
