RE: What cal. should I buy for my wife to hunt with?
I've never owned as 7mm-08,but my hunting partner has used a Browning BL for a few years now. He's swears by the 7mm-08.My personal preference is a .270 Win for Whitetails. The cartridge does the job and the recoil is mild.Not knowing your wife's size or structure it's hard to recommend what would be good for her.You might want to consider a 243 if she is on the small size or recoil shy. The best bet would be if you know people with different caliber rifles.See if you can let her shoot different ones and let her decide what she is comfortable with. Ruger Redhawk
