Looking to get my 11year old daughter a gun this year. She can shoot 2-3 inch groups at 200 yards with my cheep savage. I took her out today and had her shooting the .243 and i tested to see if she flintched with it by loading blankes. Nope! It did nock her back but was no where near rhe recoil she has with her 20 guage loaded with 3" turkey loads.
So this got me thinking she is ready for a larger rifle. Im thinking for her first gun im going to get her a savage lady hunter with an acutrigger loaded in 7mm08. The gun runs around 750 at cabellas.
If you were going to get a rifle in this price range is this a good rifle or are there better ones to consider?
