[QUOTE="carpetman2, post: 715920, member: 18775"] I just weighed my 7mm08, it weighs in @ 9.4 lbs with a VX3 4.5x14x50 which is about 1.3 lbs I believe. She shoots that very comfortably. So an 8.5 lb gun w/o optics should be ok with a good recoil pad and the 270 seems to be at the upper edge for recoil from what I can figure. I am leaning toward another 7mm08 that would be more accurate than my little vanguard, maybe a new S2 vanguard or a savage, or rebarrel my little vanguard. The 270 seems a nice fit ballistically, but bullet selection is a little more limited. As for her helping with the selection, she just wants me to choose for her. She is really easy to work with on this and yes, she really likes to shoot and to hunt as have all four of my daughters, all very accomplished hunters. But she is definately the best shot in the family at her age. We did a family top shot comp this summer with a bunch of friends and all 6 of my kids. She won nearly all the stages. She's just a natural. [/QUOTE]
