    Good point on the trijicon. Don't usually think of them for red dots, even though I have a 1-4 red triangle on my AR. Want something way smaller than that though, hence the thoughts running to the T1, but will hit the trijicon site for some insight. How's the recoil compared to a 12g? I understand the shotgun push vs sharp center fire impact, but want something she can fire comfortably for the exact reasons you stated: if she likes it and isn't afraid she'll shoot it more, be more comfortae with it, and it will be more instinctive if the time comes. I have a 6.5" S and W .44 revolver that she did NOT enjoy shooting. Handled it fine, but sure as hell didn't like it.

    you can have brake drilled in that would tame the bite
    I have worked in the bush all my life and I dont like shotguns I'm a rifle guy
    I realy like handling SBR wish we had moor in lever and bolt actions to pick from that would be NR
    wen shoting for fun have her shoot 44 sp and save the magnums for wen its called for in the bush
    you can go to a 357 wich is the bare minamum for griz bear sbr rifle and have her play with the 38s for fun
    love my SBR mares leg in 357 it's a joy to shoot she would love shooting it the 38s out of 12 barrel is sweet vary low recoil and just a pop insted of a big bang

    Have a marlin ss .357 carbine that she really likes shooting, but barrel is too long for her to be packing around all day. Not convinced .357 is enough for bear either. Good point on the brake, didn't think of that either. Combined with a recoil pad should be manageable. Do you know if Henry sells their full stocks? Couldn't find anything online but had heard they did. Was going to send them an email but they're hurtin from Sandy, so will try in a week or so.

    The Henry stock didn't fit the Henry mares leg or another brand? I've been given the impression that the Henry mares leg and the Henry big boy use identical recievers. Am I mistaken?
