Again, I had a gun shop, we'd take the ladies or newbies out and let them try a weapon BEFORE they purchased. Thus the best suggestion for a surprise is to get a gift certificate for the purchase. Further ladies, unlike us gents, tend to be satisfied with one rifle - no need for multiple calibers/chamberings, etc.Ģnd: hard to do for a surprise, but LET HER PICK IT OUT. The Mossberg is a lot of rifle for the $$$. MOST of the ladies I helped purchase a rifle and some I taught to shoot, all seemed to prefer a youth model over a "ladies" model. Lastly, especially to any ladies on the boards, what would you recommend I look at in makes/calibers? Thanks mucho for the input!!!ĭepending on your wife's size, look at the Mossberg Youth Models. The LOP on my rifles is a good 1" too long, do you all think that's too far off for her to have a good feel for the calibers? She's shot my lever actions which have much shorter LOP's but this would be a first with my bolt rifles. Was going to take her out this weekend and have her shoot my 308 win, 300 win mag, and 9.3圆2 to see how she likes various hunting calibers and the associated recoil but afraid the LOP on my rifles is going to hinder that a bit. Is this marketing hype or is there something really to these designs? My wife is fairly tall, 5'9", and medium framed but when I had her shouldering some of my bolt rifles last night the LOP (14.25 to 14.75) was definitely too long for her. Savage and Merkel are the ones I've reviewed so far. I see some companies have started making "rifles designed for women". My first thought was a 30-06 or 308 win, but have been reading some articles written by ladies that say they really like the 7mm-08. I'm hoping she'll join me in hunting in Africa and other locals at some point. Thought I might buy her a nice rifle/scope combo for Christmas. My wife has become interested in shooting, and "maybe" hunting.
