RE: Deer rifle for small shooter
Remington is offering the 700 ADLs with a Bushnell 3-9X 40 scopes. All this for $399. I have one in a 7 mag and I changed out the scope for a Nikon ProStaff 3-9X40, but the original is pretty good. Just one piece of advice, stay away from the 710. It feels real nice on the shoulder but the trigger is STIFF as anything and the action is sloppy. The .243 is great, but put a recoil pad on the .308 and she will feel less the .243 without one. My 7 mag kicks lees then my .308 in a Rem 760 with the "Hi-Viz" pad.
