No, I'm not kidding.
There was something wrong with her .240. About 1/2 the time, it would break open upon firing.
He bought her the .340, handed it to her and said "Now you can play with the big boys".
:lol2:
She's a big girl, but I dunno about this...
My Winchester M70 .375 H&H which is the minimum caliber for dangerous game you are allowed to use in Zimbabwe has about the same recoil. I would not recommend that for a woman. Mine has a mercury filled tube fitted into the buttstock. Makes an amazing difference in recoil.
Then what is a woman supposed to do if a dangerous game got after her?
Holler for Tarzan? :help:
May be repeating myself but we were shooting one day and a big old boy pulled his S&W .44 magnum out of his overalls pocket and he shot a few rounds, then I shot it. I told him to let my wife, who is not very big, shoot it and he chuckled at the idea.
When she started popping them in the target as good as any of us he changed his attitude.
I knew she could do it but a 12 gauge pump beats her up some but that is probably because the gun doesn't fit her.
I don't know anything about those heavy rifles so I am interested in what is being said.
