I'd slap a Barrett Fieldcraft in 6CM in her hands so as to let the rest stand back in amazement.
Ruger M77 Gunsite Scout in 450 Bushmaster. Just mounted the scope on my new Gunsite today
Ordered Howa M1500 Mini-Action in 6.5 Grendel today. I hope she sends me photos.
Have you considered the CW (3 point, 2 point) sling for it?
Number 5, aka "Little Girl", will be 13 next March, might as well start shopping now.
Brothers have CZ527s, a Mauser, a Robar .308 (that was Uncle Kirk's), and a Marline 336 underlever.
She is lanky like her mother, tall and thin. Her ATH ratio is 1.11 so LOP is not such a concern for a bolt gun.
Have heard good things about Howa for the dough. Maybe 6.5CM in the Alpine config?
I am open to anything, but we have family bias to bolt guns (excepting Elijah who loves underlevers for some reason). Has to be a manual at .23 or larger for PA game laws.
Rifle and optic recs (we favor short tubed fixed powers)?
Believe I've never encountered a "Robar" rifle, something new on the market?
And the ammo is cheap enough to be able to spend lots of time at the range getting it dialed in.
Finally.
I ordered it in February . . . shipped it off to PA today. Geez, Howa, up your game!
Thanks to my friends at ERG that finally found one for her. I have ordered custom rifles that did not take this long.

So, how did she like it?
