[QUOTE="Speyrod, post: 1800089, member: 109610"] I had the same issue with my wife. She is 5'2" and has little upper body strength. Both rifle weight, recoil and length were issues for her. I start her out with a Sako 260 Remington at 6#. Shooting 140grn Federal bullets its a sub moa gun out of the box. She killed several deer and a 6 point bull with it. Still she struggled with the weight and recoil. Next rifle was the Kimber 84 Mountain Accent at 4.5# mounted with a Leupold VX5 comes in under 6# in a 6.5 and muzzle break. Within 10 rounds she was shooting sub .75 groups with the Hornady 143grn ELDX. Light recoil easy for her to carry shoots great. Hope this helps. [/QUOTE]
