    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    I load a 110g Sierra pro hunter for my boy using 2206h reduced load it is doing 2500fps and is really soft to shoot with a suppressor, it is zeroed for 100m

    Think you on the right track, i know some dont seem to mind but from what i seen and heard a 270 is just not suitable for a newbie. i personally dont like them.{havnt met one yet that doesnt kick and makes a rackett) A 243 is a awesome Cal, and i believe that cal is such a winner you cant go wrong. Next to no recoil, accurate, and will do the business on any game here in Nz to a suitable range. Forget the 223 .A 243 gives you more options and distance. power and can always be the go to rifle than the 223 which in the right hands is pretty good but it has more limits. Otherwise a 308 is the next step, good to shoot and even thou the recoil isnt much difference compared to a 270 still havnt seen a 270 that feels nicer to shoot (with recoil than a 308) and for a new shooter having a rifle that is a pleasure to use is a key in getting them happy into the sport . And you dont have to worry about reloading to reduce the power etc, you can just buy factory straight of the shelve and it works.

    Munsey my ten cents worth.
    I take it she shoots already. So how's her technique?
    If it's good and she has the high and wide in the shoulder plus forend grip. Then fine go for it.
    But if she is shooting F class style (free recoil, cross armed) then no I'd not let her near it.

    did you not have a crack out of my 264Wm. yes they are bloody good, highly recommend them for $80 odd its a cheap way to make shooting comfortable with any caliber. my 264 has very little felt recoil dear I compare to a 22 but its pretty soft.
