After shouldering about a dozen different rifles she chose a Weatherby vanguard Camilla and I got it in 6.5creed and figured this will probably work for her for most everything we be hunting. Good luck! Having a daughter to hunt with is a special.

Mule Deer has written some good stuff about stock fit, women, and recoil.

Very cool that she wants to go hunting with dad! Sounds like you're making the most of it. Good on you, my friend.
