Rifle for my gf

It's supposed to be a surprise, she doesn't want to know what she's getting.

 

this is what i have for target practice:

little to no recoil, excellent accuracy, the winchester 9422 .22 magnum



Edit: my buddies gf loves this gun, she shot a whole box of 50 rounds, shes about 5'4" 120, if that...almost thought i wasnt getting my rifle back...lol

shes lucky a box only costs like 10$

 

you might also get her a 30-30. awesome rifle for deer and pigs if thats what she decides to do. doesnt kick to awful hard and shooting a lever action is just fun. 257 is also a pretty easy to handle caliber but that ammo can be a little harder to find

Now what you really need to do is go all out and get her a cannon such as a .338 or 300 win mag. then when she doesnt like it you get a new elk rifle!

 

She shoots my .22 but she wants something that can take deer.

 

Good trade

 

I have a 30-30, she's doesn't like it.

 

Somethin isnt right in her head then

 

What about a Marlin lever action in .357. Loaded correctly they can take deer.
Fun and cheaper to shoot then a .30-30 or any of the above especially if you load it up with .38 special for plinking

if you get the .243 you cant go wrong. 7mm-08 is another amazing round and has great accuracy. Ive loaded them from 120 gr for varmints and up to 140 gr ballistic tips for deer.

 

Personally, I am a huge fan of a good lever action 357 mag rifle. Virtually no kick but plenty of power out to about 100 yrds.

 

Well I'm at our sports authority and they have the model 770 in .243 but that thing looks way cheaper than I thought and the action is faaaaar from smooth. The only other rifles here are 5 different 30-06's a couple 270's and three 308's. Another downside of living in "paradise".

Have you guys learnt nothing from the incident in New Foundland!

 

Incident???

 

Couple from the states (cannot remember exact location) came up to Canada for a hunting Trip and while there the wife shot the husband claiming she saw a bear through her scope!

 

Damn, I can never understand how that ever happens.

 

I don't know either!

 

.243 in the Savage.

I'm a Remington man, but the 770 SUCKS!!!

Savage/Marlin is a much better quality entry level rifle, and it will be a tack driver.

Then when she wants to move up, get her a Model 7 or 700 Remington in 7mm-08.

 

Yup, I was gonna get the 770 till I picked it up and opened and closed the bolt once, after that I was laughing at it.

Is the savage axis/edge any good?

 

Ok guys I ended up getting her a savage axis in .223 I'll try and gets some pics up.
