"looks like a pretty good sized rifle she is using."  Full sized Savage 300WSM.  Shooting 165 Ballistic Tips at 3300.  Muzzle brake makes it kick less then a .243.  She's good to 400yds prone, but only 200 sitting with the bipod.  Last year no bipod as she was just too shaky, but she grew a little so the rifle now fits better.  Next year the rifle should fit perfectly from here on out.  300WSM is a great caliber that will kill anything in NA including big bears.  One rifle should carry her just fine until she decides she needs a new gun "just because" like everyone should do.
