I would look at the Savage Model14 Classic in 250 Savage. If you have have a problem with the quarterbore you can't go wrong with a 7/08;
however it will have a bit more recoil. The last two deer that I have taken with my 250 have been DRT. One was at 96yds(lasered) and the other was at an estimated 130yds. With 100gr Partitions or BalTips the
250Savage is a fine whitetail cartridge for anyone,especially for the ladies.
GOOD LUCK and GOOD SHOOTING!!!!
