RE: 7mm mag or 300 win for a lady hunter?
Just wanted to let everyone know that I finally made a decision and bought the 7mm Rem Mag today. Although I truly feel that I would have been just fine with any of the other calibers alot of you suggested. The recoil is something that with time I'm sure I'll get used to. I ended up with the Remington 700 SPS model. Not the cheapest, not the most expensive, but hopefully something that will work for my hunting pursuits.

7mm- Good Choice! 
For what's is worth- I would have recommended the 7mm08. Is there a better big game rifle when it comes to recoil? Putting my 12 yr and wife in one to start off. Beauty of guns, you can always upgrade, they hold their value over time.
