[QUOTE="Nomosendero, post: 1413015, member: 3622"] Greg, it sounds like your Wife grew up alot like mine, in my Wife's case on a cattle farm in the AR Ozarks & like in your case I introduced her to hunting. I bought my Wife a sporterized 96 Mauser about 30 years ago. She has taken about 40 Deer, 2 Antelope, 1 Elk and various critters with that Rifle. 2 years ago I bought her a RAR Predator, with it she shoots targets in the off season with a 4x16 Vortex Viper mounted using 140 A-Maxes and hunting season we put a 3x9 Burris on and either the 120TTSX or 140 Nos. Partition. Last fall she took an AR Bull Elk with the Creed, the 140 gr. bullets run 2825 in the Creed with RL26 and 2700 in the Swede with H4831. In both cases shooting Elk the Partition plowed through both shoulders. I would advise the Creed as a low recoiling but yet very effective round. It would be hard to do better and several lightweight rifles can be had in that round and VERY good factory ammo at a good price can be purchased if you have a time crunch and can't load your own. I see no downside to these rounds in the context of what you want to accomplish. [/QUOTE]
