Hey guys. I want to get my 17 year old daughter a Ruger American Gen 2 for Christmas. She's hunted and shot with me for years. She's no problem but pretty proficient. Right now she's been shooting a Gen 1 American 16" .308 with a spiral break.
I'm stuck between a .270, 6.5 PRC, and 6.5 CM.
My boy shoots a 270, my dad and father in law did too but l personally have no real experience with them. For some reason this sounds good to me.
Everyone else in my world says go 6.5 CM and l have to admit it's prob perfect on paper. She's tough but a pretty small framed girl.
The 6.5 PRC seems perfect but not sure about price and long term availability of ammo.
What would you guys do?
Also would you buy now when available or wait for a Christmas deal and hope they are available?
