[QUOTE="Tac-O, post: 1972373, member: 109994"] I have a 10 and 12 year old that I got a t3x superlite 7mm08 with a lightweight scope for. before doing anything to it the gun weighed 6lb10oz unloaded. They're pretty light for their age... The 10 year old being 68lbs and the 12 year old being 85lbs. I know you're not wanting to add anything to it, but with mine, I cut the butt stock shorter and then put a limbsaver pad on it. I also added about 12-14 oz of bullets into the butt stock before putting the new recoil pad on. Now the gun is ~7lb6oz and they've been shooting the Hornady reduced recoil load (120gr, 2600fps) without issue. I would think that as long as the stock fits your daughter ok and you don't put a super light scope on, she'll do ok. [/QUOTE]
