[QUOTE="HSmithTX, post: 2599784, member: 121677"] Any of those will work well, I'd hand her the one she is most comfortable with and shoots the most confidently with. The 7-08 with the 139 behind the shoulder will kill elk well. The 270 with a 150 cup and core is an elk hammer. Never seen an elk shot with a 35 whelen but can't imagine it won't be an elk hammer. Guessing the Tikka is a 7RM? I would honestly be a bit more comfortable with the 7-08 ad 139 interbond at 200 and in than I would with a 7 mag and the 162 at 200 and in, same for the 270 and 35.
