[QUOTE="Vaughng, post: 1952572, member: 114076"] MY personal view is that the Short magnums are on the way out. The action is not good for anything else other than another Short Magnum. The prime consideration for your wife should be recoil/ Rifle fit and weight. If she does not feel comfortable with the recoil then she will loose interest quickly. The 6.5 Creedmoor leads the way in sales hype and when its all said and done I think the 7 M 08 would be a good cartridge for her or even the 260 Remington, and even these calibers have more recoil than most women would feel comfortable with unless you are really building a rifle for yourself. There are exceptions to the rule but she is better off with something she shoots well than something that she feels uncomfortable with. VaughnG [/QUOTE]
