Looking for a wife rifle....

Take a look at the Savage Model 11.  Great gun.  Shoots a 1/4 inch group at 100 yds.  Recoil isn't that bad.  I am only 5'9" and 120 lbs. and it is easily manageable for me.

I bought my 12 year old daughter a Remington 700 SPS in .243 and it is lighter than her friend's Savage Axis Youth Rifle.  She can pack the SPS around all day with no problem and it is a tack driver.

My wife absolutley loves her Marlin XS7.  She is only 5'4" so we got her the youth model.  Out the door at Cabellas with a scope it was only 350 bucks.  It really likes my Handloads.

I was gonna suggest the t3 in 270wsm , It's a dandy round and the recoil nis minimal .

Have had a Ruger Model 77 in .279 for years, great gun does all I want it to do.

Any one of the major brands will do the job. Make sure the stock fits her and she is comfortable shooting it. A good trigger is also important. If it takes two Missouri mules to pull the trigger she will never shoot it well. Take her to a store that carries a lot of rifles and let her handle them until she is comfortable with one.

My wifes first rifle was a Remington modle 7 in .243win. She really grew fond of the Browning A-bolt I use in .270win. We got her an A-bolt in 7mm-08 composite stalker just like mine and she loves it! Here is her 2011 buck she tagged with her A-bolt 7mm-08. Good chance your wife might like the A-bolt composite stalker as well.

I'm surprised none of you guys have went here yet. He wants a 270 for his wife. I've already got a wife I'm  happy with, so I'm not trading this one in. Should probably mention is she a good cook, does she clean the house good, willing to help with the hunting/camping chores.. ... Just joking.. I have a Remington 700 that my daughter loves.
