[QUOTE="Norske, post: 35186, member: 409"] Stock fit is very important. Game animals aren't like paper targets or prairie dogs that allow lots of time to find the sights. Her eye should line up with a scope with her cheek held firmly on the comb. (I can't use a Remington with a cheek piece because of my chubby face.) Length of pull shouldn't be too long and remember she will be wearing heavier clothing during hunting season. Every brand and often models within each brand will have a different stock design. As for recoil, a little extra weight will do a lot to lessen recoil. [URL="http://www.HuntAmerica.com"]www.HuntAmerica.com[/URL] has a handy recoil calculator on its homepage. Balance your cartridge selection between power and recoil. You're on the right track considering the 7-08. A 308 with a 150gr bullet will kick more, but a 243 with a 100gr bullet requires better shot placement. You could also use the light recoil loads for larger cartridges.

Plug in some numbers and note the impact differences. Have fun shopping. [/QUOTE]
