[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1494657, member: 30902"] If she's not going to have to pack it very far you couldn't do better for her than one of the Gen2 milspec Rem 700's in either 6.5cm or .260 Remington. One of the the 700 LR models would be my second choice. There's not a significant difference in size between the .243 and .260/6.5 bullets but they do deliver significantly more energy, carry better in the wind and will consistently give you cleaner kills. IF you can find any of the Ruger M77 Hawkey FTR models around they are a bit lighter and also excellent shooters. They too came in .260 and 6.5CM. Either would serve you both very well. Oh, if you want to reduce the recoil even more for her put a good muzzle brake on it but I doubt you'll find it necessary. The Brake that comes on the Ruger is a typical factory brake and I'd replace it anyhow. [/QUOTE]
