skee0025 Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 I need to know what the deer hunters here use. I am going to be buying a Rifle for my wife but she is let just say, considerably smaller in frame than I am. 5-6, slender build. I dont want to get something thats gonna knock her shoulder out of joint. So ladies, whats your gun of choice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott K Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 I bought my wife a .243, she loves it! Hardly any kick, accurate, and plenty of knock down power to take down a deer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caseynewberg Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 25-06 is what I used this year, next year remains to be seen, but I did love the gun, I shot between 6 trees with about a foot gap between them he jumped and ended up 15 yards away...

shamrock7 Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 If she is smaller frame, consider a youth model. The shorter barrel and lighter overall weight will give her more control and more confidence. It may not work but take her to a gun shop and try one on for size then a regular model and see what she likes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
