The first rifle (hard to tell from the video) looked like a Remington 700. The second looked like a sythetic stocked Savage (from the position of the safety). Anybody get a better look? Anybody know the calibers?

It is obvious she knows how to shoot. 4 shots consistantly off (more than likely high). First shot with the second gun - clean hit.

It is correct that the zero should have been verified, but in the final anlaysis, a clean hit. Sarah’s Dad SHOULD have checked it, but I’ve made MUCH worse mistakes.

Sarah’s awesome.

The second rifle looks like its a .338, I have a Ruger M77 Mk2 stainless in that caliber but with a Hogue rubber coated fiberglass stock. I have the Dishnetwork PVR and this show recorded and I am looking at the freeze frame when she has Becvkers gun, it has a super magnum recoil pad and looks like 9 cartridges on the right side of the stock, at the least they look like either .338 or even possibly the .375.

Taking an educated guess and also being a hunter here in Alaska I would say its a heavier caliber in case they come across a bear, a lighter cartridge like the 7mm would not be a good bear stopper unless its a very good shot, better to go as big as possible. So I bet its one of these two calibers, and I can say honest a .338 packs a pretty good wallop.
