Hoss50 Report post Posted March 17, 2019 Tikka is a good choice. If she likes it get her what she wants. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CatfishKev Report post Posted March 17, 2019 Also a great caliber all around for kids, ladies and adults in my opinion. My kids have 2 cows down with it. Both went under 20 yards. One shot at 180yds, one at less then 100. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jdown Report post Posted March 18, 2019 Both my wife and daughter have killed 2 elk each with the same 270wsm with a brake. They both are recoil sensitive and with no muzzle flip or recoil, it makes it really easy. I do like the 7/08 though. My son killed his first elk with that round.

RemingtonCountry Report post Posted March 19, 2019 Absolutely nothing wrong with the Tikka T3 Lite, especially in 7mm-08. That caliber can handle most, if all NA species. Light recoil, and a tackdriver! Put a good scope on it and it'll do anything you ask of it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rossislider Report post Posted March 19, 2019 I went with a Tikka in 7-08 several years ago for my wife and daughter. I put a brake on it for them and it has been a fantastic rifle. Most recently my petite 10 year old daughter put the hurt on a pig with it this past January from a long way out. We have used it for cow elk, antelope, and javelina. Great rifle for them. I highly recommend a brake for the ladies and kids on pretty much anything larger than .223 if it will be used by smaller hunters. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
