virginia7 is on the money ! only thing is the youth is only offered in 243 and 308 i believe , no long actions.
you could buy a 700 adl in 260 or 7mm-08 and then pick up a youth stock on ebay and have the same thing or if you have a 700 short action you can find a youth stock and have it also.

8mm/06

The link i posted above is for a model that is dual pillar bedded. There are some other models that come i the 7mm/08 cartridge but are not pillar bedded. They could be plenty accurate also, and a great deal. The scopes in the packages are not top notch, but only a few rungs down the ladder....and could serve well for a few seasons until relegated to a decent .22 rifle.

By all means, have her try a .270 Win. with 130-grain bullets! it is fine up close, and great for long ranges! it also has pretty light recoil. If she can stand that .308, she'll have no problems with a .270!

remington makes a 700 for youth/female. i got girlfriend one in the 308 caliber. she is only 5ft 2 in, 86 lbs and has not problem with it. as far as recoil, she uses a shoulder pad with a few kotex stuck behind it.

my mom has a messed up shoulder and she can shoot a 7mm-08 without a prob i would suggest it, works on elk to, the only draw back is limited bullet choice

Savage 110, or whatever Savage bolt they chamber in 260 Rem. Cut the stock if need be, and she's all set.

I have a Model 10 GY (I think), its a .308 youth model. Really nice for smaller framed folks, and even for me with a heavy jacket on. That rifle shoots great, cost 300 new, a few years back.

I found Rem 700 in 7mm-08 but it has one of those stupid internal locks on the bolt. has anyone used one of these rifles. I typically don't like additional safety features that are there to replace gun handling skills. I have that sinking feeling that as soon as you see a huge buck that internal lock is going to decide to lock up from a little bump it took earlier in the day. What are your experiences with these guns and locks? Thanx

I would try a REM model 7 youth in 7-08 or a savage youth in 308 or 7-08 .Savage rifles are lower price not cheap , I have 2 and they shoot good ,the stocks are plain birch , that lowers the price. DU NRA life

fungunnin if i was to find myself having to have one of these klintoon keyed guns i would change that little annoying plastic bump over to a original shroud. you can find them on ebay or brownells . maybe you could just talk to your gunsmith. i am sure they are nothing more than a cosmetic eyesore but for me i would spend a little extra to get rid of it.
