[QUOTE="el Pollero, post: 2048857, member: 99868"] Your wife is about the same size as my youngest daughter. Had the same problem with fitting her for a rifle. Had several MSR in 223 but was not satisfied with the killing power . She was very comfortable shooting this platform so I built her a 6.5 Grendel upper and I couldn’t be happier with the results. Put an adjustable stock on the rifle amd it is perfect for her. It has become my rifle of choice for deer hunting when she is not with me. The 123g Hornady SST is readily available and deadly on deer size game. Not sure if your hunting state allows you to use AR type rifle For hunting but if not I would still recommend this caliber for your wife. my daughter killed her first this year at about 60yds . It was a perfect shot quartering away from her. One shot kill amd the bullet performed perfectly . Bullet entered right above the last rib on the aiming side and busted both lungs and the liver , busted about the 3rd rib on the opposite side and was hanging on the hide. [/QUOTE]
