Hi I am going to sell a Ruger M77MKII Varmint in 25.06 with a Leupold scope. It was originally purchased in 96. Has probably had about 100 rounds shot through it. It is nice and clean. I have shot it twice and found it to big for me. Although I did pretty well with it. Any ideas on what I should ask for it? Also any suggestions for a rifle for a woman (5'2") for 200 yds.

The gun was my husbands (he passed away 4 years ago), he used it for hunting. I have just started shooting and decided to try this. I have shot it twice, about 20 rounds both times (they were loaded down some). The recoil doesn't bother me it is just too big for me. I like Ruger. So I will look into your suggestion. A Remington 700 or a Savage FP10 Tactical in .223 have been suggested also.

As far as a good choice for a woman for a deer rifle, .260 Remington offers a good combination of power, accuracy and light recoil. The Model 7 Remingtons although light and short and fast handling have a bit of a trade off in that you get more felt recoil with them. Check out the post on GB general discussion about "Sarah does it again". The rifle in the picture is "her" rifle and it's a Remington 700 BDL in .260 and she is, 14 years old, 5'2" and about 105 pounds! She does all right with it! GHD
