coueswt Report post Posted March 31, 2014 My wife uses a 7mm08 with a break and is perfect for her as it is good for Elk to Coues. I first got her M70 compact and had a break added and now she uses a White Cloud custom in same caliber. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
couesbowhunter1 Report post Posted March 31, 2014 />Coues- what is she shooting at ? targets? deer? coyotes? rabbits? bear? Just deer and Javelina. Maybe a coyote here and there. I already told her if she gets drawn for elk then she is going to have to shoot my 30-06 or .270. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
roninflag Report post Posted March 31, 2014 I am looking to get a rifle for my girlfriend because she refuses to shoot the 30-06! What are your guys thoughts on a good rifle that would fit her? I was thinking about a youth .243? Thanks The .243 is an accurate and deadly round. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was thinking about a youth .243? Thanks The .243 is an accurate and deadly round. I agree with Ron on the .243 for your purposes. It will also work on elk if she gets an elk tag. On a note related to others, my 9-year old daughter shoots a Savage youth 7mm-08 with a brake on it and absolutely loves it. It will definitely do everything your wife wants to do, plus elk just as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

muley224 Report post Posted April 1, 2014 I agree with the 7mm 08. Great caliber. I would consider also a 257 roberts. Both my daughters have loved theirs, remmingtons. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

452b264 Report post Posted April 6, 2014 A good friend of mine was born and raised in Colorado and shoots a 7-08, this is his biggest rifle, and uses it for every thing. It has a Leopold scope and target turret, and you should see his antler collection its rather impressive. A 3006 can be down loaded with ease, and a muzzle break also reduces the recoil.
