My wife is currently shooting a .32 cal. percussion and loves it but she is interested in moving up to a caliber suitable for hunting but wants a light traditional rifle with very little recoil. Any ideas?
 
Hi. Where you are matters. As I recall, Ontario requires a minimum of .45 calibre for deer. Not many of those around though. In any case, light rifle of any kind will have more felt recoil. 'Light' may not be a great idea if felt recoil is an issue.
"...traditional rifle..." Percussion? Inline percussion? Traditions makes a 50 cal percussion lock Hawken that weighs 7 lb 11 oz. and a synthetic stocked 50 cal that weighs 6 pounds. Epp's is a Traditions dealer.
The style of hunting makes a difference too. Weight doesn't matter much in a blind.
 
She likes the traditional percussion rifles. Thought i might find an opinion on a rifle that transfers recoil in a comfortable manner as not all rifles act the same. And Yes we would like to have a 50 as there are just more bullet options.
