7mm-08

T3 is not compact. It is a full sized rifle. It may be nice and lightweight, but it's still got a full sized stock with a full LOP that'd be a factor with someone who is 5'2" I'd guess.

Tika is ok in a small caliber. They do not have a recoil lug. I have the Model 7,Great youth or small frame gun. Shoots very well with little if no recoil.

my daughter who is 15 and is small, like 5'1 maybe 95 pounds, but she shoots the remington 7mm-08 in the youth model, talk about light, wow, makes me want a new gun that light, it came with a bushnell scope, i know it aint a leupold, but it shoots lights out, and after tax it was 500 dollars
