I have a .243 Remington that has worked great for me throughout the years and I absolutely love it! I just recently picked up a .270 Tikka T3 Lite. It's a great gun! Right out of the box I was able to shoot a group that you could put a quarter over it! It's very light and you can carry it all day and not even know it's there. It does have a little more recoil because it's such a light gun, but it has a great recoil pad so it doesn't really affect a person a whole lot.&nbsp; You just have to go with what your comfortable with, only you can tell what you like and don't like. I handled a lot of the guns at Scheel's before I picked this one out, and I'm glad I did. I had people telling me to get this gun or that one, but I finally decided on this Tikka. The action is so smooth, well worth the money!!http://www.outdoorsforher.com/rifle_for_this_season#2958712009-08-31 20:38:04http://www.outdoorsforher.com/rifle_for_this_season#295871posted by: OFH Staff Joan. <p>I use a .225 but they aren't very common anymore.&nbsp; It belonged to my grandfather and is really a varmit gun but I've had no troubles bringing down a deer with it.&nbsp; I think a .243 is a good size for women, not too big, not too small.&nbsp; My sister-in-law has a nice composite .243 that she likes alot because it is light and wears well in the snow, rain, etc.<br /> <br /> Firearms - An excellent investment!</p>http://www.outdoorsforher.com/rifle_for_this_season#2935462009-08-19 08:05:01http://www.outdoorsforher.com/rifle_for_this_season#293546
