i won a smith and wesson AR .22 over the weekend, and i traded it in on a hunting rifle for my bride, i went with the savage american in a youth frame since she's so little and it fits her awesome, i've heard great things about the rifle and with the smaller framed gun it all worked out awesome! topped it with a 3-9 vortex diamondback, now i dont recall ever even shooting a .243 so now i need to figure out what to put through it that she can shoot, remember she is a pretty small girl so i dont wanna set her down on her ass or get her scared to shoot the gun, but i also want something that should she happen to miss the sweet spot on a deer there is some knockdown power there to do some real damage and kill the deer, what have you guys shot in the past and what has worked well for you? im open to anything as like is said. .243 is a new caliber to the gun cabinet,
Thanks!
Thanks!
