[QUOTE="Overkill338, post: 1745115, member: 110473"] She originally wanted something in Muddy Girl camo. But while I was picking up my Glock 45, she handled some rifles. She found a Savage Axis XP Hunter Stainless that she loved the feel of it, and it fit her perfectly. A side note: We had to keep our search for lower recoil calibers, due to a stint in her heart, and this rifle I believe will be fine. It is a 6.5 Creedmoor, which definitely was not my picking, but she liked that rifle. I really wanted her to get a .243 if she was going to hunt with us some, but she had her heart set on this rifle, and she came.away with it. It was labeled "Used" but shows no signs of ever firing a shot. So she made her own deal, and got it for $275 out the door. I'm definitely getting her a better scope. The one that's on it is crap.
