The girlfriend and I are taking up hunting. She needs her own rifle since she normally just uses mine but that won't be feasible in the field.
I shoot a .30-06 and she'll only take a few shots with it from time to time. She won't touch my Mosin again.
She's not that recoil sensitive but prefers a lighter load when possible. She's thinking she wants a .308 but I'm thinking more along the lines of .270 or .243.
From my reading both will take a whitetail but the .270 seems to be the favorite besides .30-06.
What do you guys use? Will the .270 save her shoulder practicing at the range? Will it save her shoulder over the .308?
Thanks in advance. I simply don't have experience with these smaller calibers.
