[QUOTE="TX Badger, post: 1517273, member: 95235"] Exactly, why limit yourself. She doesn't sound that recoil sensitive if she's shooting a 308 without issue. I'd go with one of these moderate 6.5s (260, CM, x47) you reload so you could load them down to Grendel recoil if necessary but you're not limited to Grendel performance. You'll have options from fast, flat 100 gr partitions- 150+gr vlds. Just get an appropriate twist barrel. If all the shooting is going to be inside 200 yds most cheap little youth rifles will be plenty accurate. I'd take her somewhere with a large selection and make sure it fit her well. Then I'd spend my money on the glass. A little heavier rig will not be as noticeable if the weight is in the scope/ between her hands and will still recoil less. Plus everyone enjoys looking through nicer glass and it lasts forever. I like the wide magnification range and price of my 2.5-16 and 3.5-21 bushnells. When the deer aren't moving, watching squirrels, pileated woodpeckers, hawks... at 21x provide lots of entertainment. [/QUOTE]
