Hey Wombat,I think all of your choices are good with the exception of the Tikka varmint barrel. Most likely that will be too muzzle heavy for her except for when she is bench shooting. Not knowing her physical size or strength, take what I say with a grain of salt :). You may want to see...

Thanks Sappyg.I think Nutnfancy can occasionally be to nit-picky. If its to slick, that could be easily fixed with a soldering iron and a stippling point.

Very nice Sgt. Rock! Sappyg, do you know the reason why some don't like the forend? Does the Magpul forend cover or in any way obstruct access to loading the magazine tube or the shell latches?

I agree . I use 9 mil disposable nitrile gloves that I get in a 50 pair box at Harbor Freight.

Winchester Model 70 Supergrade, or Kimber Super America http://www.winchesterguns.com/products/rifles/model-70/model-70s-in-current-production.html

I always use them. I saw a friend of mine, take a serious hit in the ear with a piece of bullet jacket that had ricocheted off of a steel plate. There are several anti-fogging products usually sold in motorcycle or ski shops for goggles. Perhaps give one of them a try?

I agree with the OP, but occasionally you find a decent reviewer. tnoutdoors9 has some excellent reviews on ammunition performance.

Its been a very long time since I carried a S&W model 36 "Chiefs Special" in an ankle holster. Ankle carry has several drawbacks. 1, If you really need the BUG your giving up needed mobility by dropping down to one knee, to draw it, at the worst possible time. 2, The gun is always...

If the wood is in good shape, and their is no rust, I'd JUMP on that! :) I've had the same experience as Lloyd Smale has. I put a Leupold 1-4 on it.

I won't try and dissuade you from your practices, but perhaps using a handgun safe or lockbox will provide you with an alternate procedure. I cant say which box/safe is best and that's probably better in a separate thread. Here's a link to an old one i found in a search...

Thanks :)

I don't want checkering on the back strap for several reasons. Sometimes the checkering catches your shirt when carrying concealed, much like the way a sticky rubber grip does, and causes a "bunching" effect. Plus, I don't want anything slowing my hand down from sliding up against the...
