I have been very happy with the 7mm-08. I was alittle leary at first but it proved to work very well for my 10yr old daughter Mady. I bought the T/C pro hunter. Theres no action so it shortens the gun and helps with weight(good and bad) I bought the 24" stainless barrel and a VXI scope. I also put a limbsaver recoil pad on it. For practice i bought the remmington managed recoil ammo. It worked awesome! Then for the hunt we used nosler 140gr accubond. She never complained about recoil. Never scarred of the gun. The only draw back is you have to look a little harder for ammo. My next choice a 270. Her pic of the gun and her elk are on the youth hunting thread. Good Luck.
