Looking to get a deer rifle for my wife, need rec's [View all]
My wife recently went hunting for the first time w/ me over Thanksgiving break and had a great time! I have only one deer rifle (Savage 30-06) so she used my shotgun. We saw very few deer but she had a blast and wants to start hunting regularly. Ive decided a nice new shiny rifle would make a great Christmas present.
Im thinking a Marlin XL7 or a Savage Axis would be a good first rifle, although there is a nice Marlin 336 30-30 for $400 that looks sweet. What do yall think? Have any reccomendations? Only requirements is that it not be too long (she is 5'4"
and not over $400 MSRP. Thanks!
