[QUOTE="just browsing, post: 1041929, member: 87559"] Any of the barrels you listed are going to be fine, especially for the distance she's going to be shooting. Shillen would be my recommendation, either the 22" sporter or 26" heavy sporter. As I said before whichever one you choose really won't have that much of an impact on what she's going to be using it for. Dead is dead and the deer won't mind too much. As for caliber, both are going to do the job and neither are going to be super easy to find, but the 7mm-08 is going to have better availability as far as factory ammo and reloading components go. It's also going to have the edge in "horsepower" but as I said before, dead is dead. The recoil difference between the two will most likely be negligible, but if she's a little sensitive to the 7mm-08 that's easily remedied with a limb saver and/or muzzle brake. 7mm-08 gets my vote.
