If hunting bigger meat than deer, the 7mm08 is the better choice obviously.

I don't think Savage offers Stainless barreled actions in wood stocks.

The Lightweight hunter is a good rifle but the Lady Hunter might be a better choice for a "Lady".

My experience with the Weatherby Vanguard is that they're accurate.
Highly disagree that the 708 recoils ALOT more than the 243!
