[QUOTE="xsn10s, post: 2619963, member: 95344"] It didn't sound like they were going to actively hunt them, more of a defensive rifle in case a nuisance bear crossed their path. I'd want a heavier caliber for that which is why I leaned towards 30 cal through 35 cal. But the reality is whatever they can shoot the most accurately without hesitation is probably best. If it hurts them then that's a deal breaker. Having said that some of the best shooters I've trained were women. And if the trainer doesn't make them overly fear the recoil women/ girls can really surprise us on how well they can shoot, and how much recoil they can withstand. I'd let them shoot a 30-06 to get their opinion and then go from there. [/QUOTE]
