Can't say enough about a good Limbsaver. My go to is a Ruger All weather. This is the stainless with the skinny plastic type stock. The rilfe is a beast. It has kick and I am admittedly a bit recoil shy, or at least I was with the factory good for nothing pad on it. I put a limsaver and now can shoot all day if need be.

Do you have a pic of the limbsaver on your ruger?   I have a couple of the same gun with the zytel (skeleton/boat paddle stock).  I was wonder how you got it to match up?  Cut the stock down or add to overall length.

Good that you have her interested in hunting.

When teaching my kids and wife to shoot their deer rifles, I loaded 28.0 grains of H4895 under the cheapest jacketed bullets I could find. Varying the powder charge can get the rifle hitting dead on at 100 yards. Then you should be close to 2" high at 100 yds with hunting loads.

The practice loads go bang, have a bit of recoil, and let them practice actually hitting targets. I always require new hunters to practice until they can pass the paper plate test. This consists of hitting a 10" paper plate at 100 yards, 5 hits out of 5 shots, using any FIELD position they wish. This means no pickup hoods or bench rests.

BTW, small variations of this load work in .270, .280, and 30-06 rifles.

Very cool!! Looks like its dialed in. Did you ever bed the rifle? Like said above, the stalkers are about as good as they come out of the box. Would not think the rifle needs a bedding job. Mine shot/shoots great right out of the box.

A big +1! On the Limbsaver recoil pads.  I've got them on most of our rifles.  Easy to install and they fit very well.  And they're from a Washington Company.  What's not to like?
