Thanks to everyone so far. She shot my dad's Optima with 100 gr. APP and a 250 Shockwave and said it kicked a bit. If I can keep it under that I think she will be OK. She hunts with a .308 but does not do alot of shooting, she is a naturally great shot. Makes most of the guys in the family as well as our friends green with envy at her abilities with a rifle.
