Thanks for the replies and keep them coming. I like the idea of the 1.5-6x42 as long as doesn't make the gun too heavy, appears to be about 8 ounces heavier than the 2-7x35 and an inch or so longer. Going to load 120 gr. Barnes TTSX at 2500-2600 fps, also having a brake put on the barrel as she is small framed but wanted something she could grow with and since I reload I can go up or down in the load for her. I currently load the 130 gr. TTSX at 2730 fps for my best friend's two sons who both shoot a .260 and it is a killer if the bullet is placed correctly.
