Do you need a repeater? If not, the T/C Encore is extremely lightweight.
I had thought of the Encore but I think she will want a repeater. She shot her first deer this year with my son's rifle, a right handed Ruger 270 tanger, and he said that the weight was an issue with her holding the rifle up. She liked the experience so much that it appears we will have a new hunter in the family. Teaching her to use a rest is a good option also and may just be the best solution.
Thanks for the suggestion.
