[QUOTE="P7M13, post: 1987709, member: 94154"] Good on you dad. I know you said "build custom," leaving out a lot of pertinent information. You didn't say whether she shoots, likes to, what type of shooting, game type, or which one of your guns she has shot and prefers. [LIST] [*]Have her shoulder a hundred different rifles. [*]Rifles, like golf clubs, can be so much better when customized to the shooter. Find a Smith or shooting coach who can size her, observe her ergonomics and make fitment recommendations. [*]If she's mechanical: buy the parts, and with her, build a gasser in 6.5 Grendel. With glass, you can keep one under 7lbs. [*]For Old Skool, have her try a marlin 336, Savage 99, Win 94, BLR, or a Henry/Rossi. [/LIST] Sweet rifle, but prolly weighs 1/6th of what his daughter does. [/QUOTE]
