My 15 year old daughter is moving up from her Ruger 77/357 to a 7mm-08 this year. I pretty much gave her free reign to pick anything she wanted for a rifle with a definite "push" towards a S/S for ease of care. I showed her just about everything out there and she only wanted walnut/blued, finally settling in a model seven cdl. So, there's still hope for the youngsters!
