Those Freedom lines are out of her price range for the moment Sabot. She kinda took my "foot down" to heart (little POed at me too) and wants do do it ALL by her lonesome as far as paying. She wont even let me mount one of the extra scopes I have laying around. Lord knows I have more than a few extras. Never know when you may need one ya know. She is looking at around 300, maybe squeezing out 350, for the rifle so she will have enough to get a decent Nikon for it. Hence why the used Omega or the Impact is about all she can really afford.

As far as mimicking her CF rifles, she picked up my old Hawken TC with open sights and shot it like a champ. Of all 5 of my kids, she is probably the most naturally gifted shooter. But she does want something more suited to her body frame than a side lock as well as something she can reach out to 150-200 with since a couple places she hunts has fields that present those length of shots often. I honestly think she is a bit tougher than she gives herself credit for and if brought up slowly to get used to it she could handle more recoil than she thinks. .
