[QUOTE="freddiej, post: 1773068, member: 26227"] Cody, I read a lot of the responses and took into account there are many new cases out there for the 0.308" diameter slugs. also my bias on the 300 cases. here is what I suggest. As stated: you want a 30 caliber with a 215 slug. No matter what case you end up using, PRC, Win Mag, WSM or even a RUM. Use a 1:8" twist or 1:7" twist barrel. to save weight flute the barrel you put on your wife's gun. just a bit of practical advice, PRC and WSM utilize a 24" barrel well, Win Mag 26" barrels seem to be very well suited, the RUM 26 to 27" you can and should run the suppressor like you want to, either direct screw on or QD. I have personally seen women shoot my 300 Win Mag with exceptional proficiency and I think she will do the same. My gun has a very efficient muzzle brake. it's loud but I also have them wear in the ear and over the ear hearing protection that makes the muzzle signature much less than is intolerable to women. I have a DG slayer Model 70 in an African big game cartridge that a 4'11", 88 pound woman shot with amazing ease. I have a small brake on it, well it's thin and standard 1.75" in length, the muzzle signature is not much louder than without, but the recoil has been deadened by at least 40%. keep this in mind, a muzzle brake does not have to be loud to be effective enough to make the 300 super mag tolerable for a woman to handle. Chet Brown of Brown Precision makes a stock called, "the pounder", it is 15 ounces as it comes to you due to Aramid cloth used in the stock. this can help with weight as well. There are not singularly correct answers in this game. you can pick and choose options, traits, advantages for each part or accessory. Your Wife will be an exceptional help for any rifle she wants to shoot. fit, cosmetics, and character will all be for her. if you explain each parts advantages and disadvantages then let her decide what she wants in her rifle, then the gun will mean more to her than anything you could build for her without her input. my 2 cents worth.
