In the May 2011 issue of Precision Shooting there is a fine article by Stephen Boxford, "A Tale of Small Rifles - How My Wife Became a Hunter".
Finn Aagaard provided much of the initial instruction for the lady. She used Berit Aagaard's trimmed 7-08 Ruger 77 for her first successful hunt, after a disappointing hunt with a full-sized rifle.
The series of Boxford's accounts of rifles that have worked and those that did not is worth reading.
