Need Caliber for 15 year old daughter
I have only been hunting 4 years and I see it in her eyes that she wants to do what Daddy does. So I started her working out with a Crossman air rifle for safety skills and operation. About to start her on a CZ .22 bolt action, then squirrel hunting after deer season closes. By spring I would like to have her practicing with a deer rifle. I already have a NEF single shot 30-06 that I used sometime, but I feel the 06 would be too much recoil for her. She is tall and athletic 5'10" but a but skinny. I am thinking right now to send the NEF in for re-barreling. I need advise deciding between .243, .270 or .308. Also I know there are 06 light weight grains that claim to be low recoil, but I don't know how effective the are on Georgia Whitetail. I got a feeling she will get a trophy buck in her sights on her first hunt, so I don't want her under gunned either. Any experienced advise out ther?
Thanks
