I went and looked at the Savage 220F and will consider it when I take her to look at the various guns that have been suggested. The Savage was very light and simple to use. I had forgotten about the 44 Mag. single shot rifles we are allowed to use,thanks for mentioning it,I saw a nice 9 pointer a 10 year old got during the youth season last year. He used the 44 mag. and droped that deer in it's tracks at 50 yards with no problem. Also looked at a Mossburg 535 I kind of like it but she will have to decide which one she feels good with.
