[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1515975, member: 30902"] A .260 Rem or 6.5cm is perfect caliber wise and there are lots of good rifles on the market. AR's are heavy but looking at bolt guns the Ruger American and Kimber's are very nice. I personally like the Winchester Model 70 more than anything that's ever been produced and they can be found in .260 and 6.5cm now I think. A Model 70 featherweight in either of those calibers or even .264wm could be ideal for her as well. SAKO also makes some very nice lightweight rifles, you'd just have to look at the available calibers and see what you can find. One other, the Remington 7 in .260 or 6.5CM might be a great choice if you can find one. Lastly the 700CDL in one of the 6.5's can be a great choice I have one in .264wm that's great but I may have to just let it go so I can build a custom Model 70 in the same caliber since I'm a Winchester nutt and I think any collector should consider owning proprietary calibers in rifles made by the same company that developed them when I can.
