First, Mehul, the best of congratulations to you and your wife! What can I say...bravo!

Great thread! Girls with guns. Varmint 'vaporatin', too!

DD, your G-daughter is going to have a hoot of a time back in...Ill-Annoy...telling all the boys about the varmint busting! HA!

I got my daughters going on a Ruger 10/22 and MK2 pistols and a CZ527 in 7.62x39, but both have taken a shine to Ruger M77MKII's for deer killing, and both have, killed deer. My oldest daughter used the 527 on her first deer, then I sold it and she gravitated to the MKII. My youngest used the MKII for her first deer last year.

Oh, forgot...in 6.5x55 cal.

Is there another caliber option?? I think not.
