The real kickers are the short barreled little monstrosities. I am assuming you live somewhere that a rifle cartridge has to be of a straightwalled design or a pistol cartridge or some such? If not, I would say go with a nice .243 with a junior stock and let her rip!
Nah, we live in WI. In the upper NW corner. I can shoot anything I want. I personally hunt with a 7MM Rem Mag.
I was just looking for something that a smaller girl can shoot, without too much felt recoil. And that I might take along myself. (I admit this might be more for me than for her).
I already have (2) .243's but they are too much for her yet.
