[QUOTE="Lee Whitsel, post: 1752977, member: 111916"] I got a new 260 Savage a couple years ago for a lighter rifle at my 70 year of age. It is a model 11 came with a fair 3x9 scope and mounts and bore sighted and is lighter than my old 300 mag by far. I would take the 260 any day for a young gal. Call the powder co. and get reduced loads for a 260. I tried them they shoot so good I'm amazed. then when she gets older more power is easy load it up. And the huge plus is if you reload, and I do, just run 243, or 7mm08. or 308 brass,, free at the rifle range here threw a 260 die trim and bingo free brass by the hundreds. I do it all the time. Oh did I mention that little light Savage shoots 5 shoots of A4350 and a130 Sierra Game Kings into 3/4 or 5/8 groups all the time. It flattened a big mule deer buck the first time I shoot a deer with it one shoot. Doesn't kick much at all and deadly on target. I think they might sell a lady's shorter model as well... I'll be hunting tomorrow in Grizzly country here by Yellowstone tomorrow with it. [/QUOTE]
