That is such an excellent report. And the smile on your daughter's face won't be wiped off easily. I suspect that the smile on your face was just as great!

Sweet, she'll be using that 416 before you know it! Lots of guys raving about the 22 cal 's these days on deer. Should be mild recoil for her. Congratulations on her deer and yours as well.yeah she is still smiling about it

Thanks! I’ve been going through some cartridges and rifle platforms for her to look at this summer. The adjustable stocks on the AR rifles make it a lot easier to get her LOP setup for sure. Still thinking about a bolt gun in a chassis also. I actually really like the little 6.5 Grendel cartridge the rifle we used though had a 16” barrel and I believe bullet performance suffered. When my nephews used it I recovered bullets that the tip just barely expanded or even folded over on 100 yard shots. My other brother has his son set up with same caliber, but a 20” barrel and the bullet performance I’ve seen between the two is unreal.

The 6.5 Grendel sounds about perfect.
Doubling up on the ear protection with plugs and muffs will go a long ways.

My daughter started out with a 22-250 and Nosler 64gr BSB bullets. She took several deer with that combo. This past year she moved up to a 308 Win.

My buddy down in Alabama has this big old porker show up on his lease. Since it’s my grandson’s 1st trip he said this is Nathan’s hog. We’re heading down in 2 weeks
