My wife shoots a tikka 7mm08. The gun has done well on blacktail. I've shot deer with it too. light gun to pack with little recoil.

I was going to buy one for my son, but decided on the .270 just for bullet selection alone, Plus they make the reduced velocity loads for now, then he can move up to bigger as he grows. I woul dnot hesitate on the 7mm-08, goo round, i did alot of research on it before i changed my mind. If i was going to buy another rifle, other than the marlin i just bought i would get the weatherby vanguard youth rifle, it comes with a full length stock for later when they are bigger.

Well thanks for all the info guys, Im pretty much set on the X-bolt Micro in 7mm-08, Im a Browning guy so im not even really looking at anything else, I think this cal is going to be perfect for my little girl, she will be hunting mainly blacktail but when she is ready she will be up in the high country with me chasing muleys!

Anybody shoot this cal, How does it shoot at 200, 300yds, how about recoil? Im looking to get my daughter a rifle with not much kick and maybee alittle more poop then a 243. I was thinking X-bolt in the micro hunter, Shes only 2 so I plan on having it well broke in by the time she's able to shoot, lol!

It will shoot as far as you can.  And then some.  have a combined 14 yrs of killin deer witha 140gr Partition in a 7-08.  The very best deer killer I've owned yet.  Less tracking and one shot kills than any caliber I've seen yet.  Just my experience.  The 7-08 isn't just for kids and women.  It's as good or better on deer as any 270 and comes in a short action rifle!!!!   Lots run 120 gr TSX with devistating results.    200-300yds is a chip shot..   Buy one you'll love it!!!!

I think recoil will be quite a bit for a young girl to handle in that light of a rifle.  If you reload, the rifle would likely be fine if you load 120 gr TSX bullets near minimum powder charges.
May I always be the kind of person my dog thinks I am.
