i took my wife to shop for a rifle for deer hunting i showed her the browning bar in 243 she held it said it was to heavy she picked up a remington 7400 in 243 and it fit her perfect. it had a bushnell scope she said she didn't wont a bolt because it was to much trouble for her, she like to push safety and pull the trigger.that gun would put 5 shots in a quarter at 100 yds. she killed 2 buck with it. she stop hunting and gave the gun to me to use i used it about 4 years i sold it and got a bar safari 30 06 but i think a women like things simple and a auto is the gun for them
