[QUOTE="villagelightsmith, post: 1987661, member: 68421"] Model '94 in 30-30 or perhaps a Marlin levergun. Let [I]her[/I] tell [I]you[/I] where it hurts and where it needs padding/or nice soft leather to be glued on.. There are a whole raft of good cartridges built from the 30-30 and the old 300 Savage or 250-3000 Imp'd or 6mmXC. They all hold plenty of powder to kill anything in the Western Hemisphere that wanders in front of it, without maiming for life the person behind the recoil pad. And yes, I DO recommend a nice thick soft pad, like a competitive shotgun shooter would use in a "200 Straight". Dad put a thin rubber sleeve over the cut-down stock of a m12, 20 ga. pump, and wondered why I still complained about recoil ... until he finally saw that my shoulder had turned a deep black-and-blue. Yes, I was small of stature too. I was under 50# until well after age 10. At this late date, I hope you're putting some light ammo together, and beginning shooting in preparation for the fall hunt of 2021. If suppressors had been available when I began shooting, I would certainly have used one to good effect. They do-oo-oo cut the recoil! [/QUOTE]
