One of the best hunting investments you'll ever make is buying a good rifle and scope for your wife and/or kids.
As B- often says rightly, start at the start.
In this case, that would be buy them something that fits them, not you.
Rifle fit has a great influence on felt recoil.
They will need a shorter rifle. Make sure the scope is positioned for them, not you, to be comfortable. The investment will be paid back many times over.
And yes, the 308 lower power loads will kill things very dead, as will 243 and 223. Shot placement trumps power.
Totally agree. That's why I bought this.
The stock fits the young ones all the way in , and the wife one notch in. I put a very nice trigger in it and scope on it. This Kimber will not be a wife and kid gun. I just thought it would be nice if I buy something that they can handle recoil wise if they want to carry such a light rifle. The one complaint my daughter has of any gun is the weight. If I run up on a second stock fine, but I won't be cutting this one down.
