Sitka Deer;
Good evening to you Art, I trust this finds you and your fine family well tonight.
As you likely know about me, I've never waded into the pucker brush for anything larger than a decent sized interior black bear - so I'm in no way commenting on what might or might not work on coastal grizzly.
I can say however with a great degree of certainty and confidence that many if not most of the guides I know and have talked to absolutely HATE braked rifles.
It puts them in danger of receiving long term, permanent hearing damage - I know of more than one case where this has occurred.
Personally I had enough poor experience with them at the rifle range that I don't really like them much myself, but absolutely do acknowledge there are reasons for using them - arthritis or permanent muscle damage in the shoulder comes to mind.
Anyway if anyone out there does choose to do a guided hunt with a ported rifle, please be extra careful of their hearing and thanks in advance.
All the best to you and yours Art and good luck on your remaining hunts.

I have braked two rifles and will never do another... I happened to get a heavy dose of muzzleblast on this year's moose hunt... and know I will be paying for it.
I would rather a 308 than a braked 300WM for those I hunt around.

My Marlin Guide Gun in 45-70 with slow poke factory ammo pushing 405 grain slugs is quite pleasant to shoot and will probably put down any north American land animal.
Hop it up though, and it demands one's attention.

I'd get her a lightweight 358 with a soft recoil pad. She'd love it.

Stick a brake on a .308 that has a stock cut to fit her. My daughter has been shooting braked .308s for a while now and never even mentions recoil. The low recoil, and easy shooting characteristics allow her to place a bullet precisely. ![[Linked Image]](http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b109/IV_Troop/2015%20ELK/P1010360_zpsgpwovk78.jpg) Bullet entrance, right where she was instructed. ![[Linked Image]](http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b109/IV_Troop/2015%20ELK/P1010359_zpsbqzsdlud.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b109/IV_Troop/2016%20deer%20elk/IMG_1797_zpsqgzjxv1t.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b109/IV_Troop/2016%20deer%20elk/IMG_1824%201_zpslsjgzdyt.jpg)

Mack, every time I see those pictures of your daughter I am struck by the smile in her eyes.
It speaks volumes about her priorities and you.

I told you she had her priorities right! Rest, eat, drink, and pee when you can, you might not get the chance later.  Ed
