See if you can chew the price of a tikka ctr. They aren't over heavy and the extra weight would help.

Just my opinion, but the foreend on the x-bolts feels a little bloated and odd compared to most sporters. Might be something to keep in mind for someone with smaller hands.

Model 70 Featherweight in 7mm-08.

I like this answer too.

yeah my 270 had a sharp kick too compared to my 30-06 maybe it was the buttpad or something idk

I said it in another thread but there's one in 7x57 here in Laredo besides mine. They want $1k for it I believe, but it's 1 of less than 400 and 100% worth it.

Been shootin one since I was 8... Had 3 different lady's kill deer with one and one even shot one with a .270 short.. They ain't bad and put down the deer.. You could always get her a .223 and get use to trackin deer.. Your call

In SS

Oh, my...

Have read the Savage Lady Hunter is suppose to be designed around a woman's build and it comes in 308

I would throw in the Tikka CTR as well.

Okay, time to end the beating of this poor dead horse.

You have a bunch of great choices here, and as usual, some crappy opinion's. Most are available in a shorter LOP and have good (3-lb max) triggers and will shoot MOA with good ammo.

Take her to Cabela's , let her handle all of them and let HER make her own choice. She will appreciate it all the more.

THEN, report back on a new thread what she chooses and include PICTURES

Buzzsaw...out

My grandma shoots a 7mm-08 and she loves it.

We'll see what happens, will keep y'all updated. Thanks for the input.

Don't get a savage

Another vote for Tikka 243 or Tikka CTR 260. 243 is more than enough for hogs. My nephew dropped this hog one nicely placed shot with a Browning A Bolt 243 and 100 grain BTSP.

Remington 700 in 7-08 or .308.

Any CZ Or Tika Rifle, they are absolutely well made very accurate right outta the box worth ever penny! Also adult women are no more recoil sensitive than most men. If they been trained to shoot right! Ask her what caliber she wants and why?

We all know that Buzzsaw is right. Let HER pick the rifle and caliber. Then, when she misses the shot on the big buck, it isn't going to be your fault even a teensy bit. Of course, as a gentleman and a loving husband, you might offer to take some of the blame for her miss. :-)

Did ya'll ever pick up a rifle?

For what it is worth, my wife handles the Ruger American in .243 really well, and it is a very light rifle. Whatever ya'll decide on, I think that .243 win is a good choice for the cartridge.
