[QUOTE="jmd025, post: 989819, member: 30046"] My wife uses a 7mm-08. Honestly all the calibers on your list are suitable , with the 270 and 308 coming in at the top recoilwise. the 25-06 is certainly capable of the shots you want to make , and i love that caliber, but obviously the 260, 270, 7mm, 30 caliber are going to give you more wiggle room and bullet selection. The main factor is going to be rifle FIT..... if it FITs her, she will shoot it very well even with more recoil than the .243. So i'd personally look at how this 243 that she shoots very well fits her and go from there. Also, i found my wife really isnt recoil sensitive at all, shes NOISE sensitive. With double hearing protection (quality plugs and muffs) she will shoot whatever without a flinch [/QUOTE]
