[QUOTE="Maina, post: 1304107, member: 89248"] Ok I got her the tikka light 300 win mag I'm putting a muzzle break on it now She has never shot past 100 yards I'm not going to push her but I want to buy things one time also. I'm looking at a vortex viper gen. 2 in 6-25x50 mm ffp 3-15 x44mm ffp I don't see her shooting at game past 300-400 yards (big northern deer 300 lb on the Hoof ). But targets out to 600-700 yards I'm thinking 165 grain Barnes 3250 or more fps dead on 200 drop 5 inches at 300 . For hunting at first .but go with the smaller scope ? But what if she likes it and wants to shoot longer ? Do I go with bigger scope ? 6-24 power when a deer steps out at 50 yards is tuff . I shot on last year at 40 yards with my scope at 6-24x50 amg . And it was moving fast . It sucked. Or do I go with 210 grain and a drop chart to 600 ? [/QUOTE]
