I agree AZ#1 My girls use the Rem#7 in 7mm-08. They have taken elk, antelope, deer and javi's with it. Great women/youth gun. Mike Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

firstcoueswas80 Report post Posted January 20, 2008 Bugle, that muzzle brake will make it nearly impossible to tolerate with out ear plugs, keep that im mind also. what about a 257 or a 270 wby? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Massey Report post Posted January 20, 2008 thank you guys for the info. My wife shoots a 270 and a 300 rum right know and she much prefers the 300rum it rattles her cage but she loves it. it is just to long of a rifle for her in my openion. in regards to the break they are loud but thats what she wants!

Coues 'n' Sheep Report post Posted January 20, 2008 That's alot of gun for a Women and both would be to big for my wife. My wife shoots a 7mm-08 and has killed an Elk and Antelope with one shoot. I totally disagree.... .... I like the bigger gun for the girls cuz of the knock down power. My wife has taken two good bulls, a Big Coues and a Carp with our 300 Wby mags. And Huntn coues, twin 13 year olds both wacked thier bulls with my 300 wby as well and both said that they loved shooting the gun!! As long as they have a break and a pad they are not bad to shoot! My longrange 300 wby mag. kicks less that my Dad's 243 win. and the lightweight 300 wby that I got from AZoneCam kicks less that my wife's 30-06 and she has quit shooting the 30-06 altogether because she trusts the Wby's more..... BUGELIN.... I think that it is Awesome that your wife likes the big fire power!! My hat's off to her!! Good luck finding the right gun. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wklman Report post Posted January 21, 2008 i have a .300 wthby i'd sell. its a weatherby mark V sporter with a factory muzzle brake, scope rings and an extra synthetic stock that go with it.i'd let it all go for $950.00.you could always cut down the sporter stock for your wife and save the synthetic to have when and if you sell it. p.m. me if interested. thx, Wade Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Massey Report post Posted January 21, 2008 thanks guys couse n sheep spelled it out exactly the reason she likes the bigger calibers is for one shot kills, since she wont shoot over 300/350 yds that means there is no compinsation for yardage. the 300rum she shoots now has a break on it and with one shot kills the noise doesnt bother her. so i will just keep her happy shooting a big gun. wklman illpm you thanks Chris Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
coueswt Report post Posted January 21, 2008 You could look at a 300wsm which is not as big as the calibers you mentioned but close and you can get them in compact/light rifles; Rem Model 7, Ruger compact, Win 70 compact, Weatherby (lightweight models), Rem Alaska Titanium, etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
