[QUOTE="DonnaCam, post: 536628, member: 36182"] I would have loved to have gotten a .243. I thought of trading or selling both my rifles to get one dream rifle, but then I would have less to work with for elk hunting if we had to share a smaller caliber rifle. My daughter has been shooting the 30.06 with Rem Managed Recoil 125gr loads and is pretty accurate (2" group) at 100 yds right now. This week, we are working on 200 yards. In a perfect world, I would have a 7mm-08 for me, a 6.5mm Swede for her, and .223 for prairie dogs and general all around fun, etc., but it is what it is for us right now. Some day we will add to our collection when the economy gets better. She has been small game hunting for quite a few years, and is a very good pistol shot with my 9mm Sig as well as my 20ga shotgun. Thanks for your thoughts, believe me, I have thought long and hard about what to do. When she handled the 30.06 well, that was when I knew it was possible to return to big game hunting. [/QUOTE]
