[QUOTE="Edd, post: 1752508, member: 30592"] I would build her a nice lightweight 308 Winchester, not a switch barrel. According to JBM and Hodgdon, you can light load a 308 with a 150 gr bullet to have less than 3 lbs of recoil in a 6 pound rifle without a brake. With nothing but stock modification and different loads, she could use that rifle while she is growing and after she has grown up. If you don't like a 308, you can get similar results from any of the similar sized cartridges. I wouldn't go any smaller than a 250 Savage or any larger than a 308 Winchester. [/QUOTE]
