Your Opinion... Gun for 12 yr Old Girl...

[PA BEN]

Winchester doesn't make the youth Mod. 70 any more, but you might find a used one. BTW, 7mm-08 will make a good elk gun to. That's why I got it for the kids, deer, bear and elk.

Dont you have to have an FFL or something to buy from Gunbroker.com???

My vote is for 7mm-08 I bought the weatherby vanguard compact for my 10 year old daughter this year.  It is one sweet shooting little gun.  She handles it well and can shoot elk next year.  The deer she shot this year didn't take a step.

No.  But if you have the rifle shipped to you from out of state you'll need to have it sent to somone with an FFL and they will have to fill out some paperwork and will charge you somewhere around $25.

It's not a hobby, it's an addiction

I started out on a 6mm. Still love it to this day!

[Buckmark]

There are quite a few.
Someone should start a post with a list of whats out there for sites that you can buy/sell firearms and like items..

Here is a nice rifle......may have to cut the stock down to fit a kid, but would be a great rifle IMO.

This is still one of my favorite stories/posts sirsnap.

BTW - 7mm-08 is a good choice IMO. My buddies mom has carried one for years and taken some good animals. Either that or the 338 RUM that was suggested

Remington youth 700, 30-06; shooting managed recoil cartridges.  That's what I just bought for my three young ones.  When they become teens the '06 standard cartridge will fit the bill.  Will work on all Washington's game animals (moose on down.)
