[QUOTE="crkckr, post: 2030174, member: 78056"] Has she ever been hunting with you before? Shooting? If she seems to enjoy it and has seen a bit of blood before then get her a rifle of her own. Your caliber choice seems perfect although I'm not sure she needs reduced loads unless she's petite. My buddies 11 year old shoots his 30-30 regularly and has shot his 300 RUM as well but she's a pretty stout girl for 11. If she's never been in the field with you before it might be best to let her get a taste of it before investing in a rifle. The .300 sounds like it should cover the bases pretty well for a lefty's first time out. Take her out and make sure she can hit a deer in the shoulder at whatever range you typically shoot at and if she enjoys the whole process, then go for the rifle of her own, although I would perhaps just guide her in picking out a rifle she likes. A bit more sense of pride in that rather than picking one out for her, I think! Whatever happens, congrats on her even being interested, you seem to have done the Dad job pretty well! So few kids seem interested these says... Cheers, crkckr [/QUOTE]
