RE: First time female shooter, What Caliber?
Lever action 44 magnum. Low recoil, very effective on deer. Fun rifle, and light to handle. Cheap to shoot. 270 is way too much rifle. I started my girlfriend out on a 30 carbine. Now she has a Marlin 1894 in 44 magnum. Any deer within 150 yards is in deep DOODY if she decides to shoot it. Tom.
