Ok, so we're in the market for a new deer rifle for the Mrs.
Its not that she's overly recoil sensitive, but most of the 30 cal rifle offerings are too strong for her to practice with regularly.
She is very adamant about a bolt action, which I fully support.
Here's the hitch...she'd also like to be able to use it for elk when the occasion arises, so the .22+ variations are out here in Oregon.
That leaves us starting at 24 cal.
So, heres the goal of this lil thread :
We need a 24 cal or larger rifle caliber with a recoil less than a .308 win, and a rifle recommendation you'd throw in the pot to go along with it.
Wave "Hi" to the Wife- she's the one that'll be reviewing this one.
If everyone's extra nice...we might get a new THR member out of this
Thanks Gents and Gals- I appreciate your feedback !
