I’ve been shooting a TC encore .50 since around 2008, I’ve taken more game with it than my rifle the last 10 years.
I shoot a 250 grain TC Shockwave? behind 150 grains of 777. It reaches out in the fields but might be a bit much for your wife for recoil. Recoil is similar to my 7mm REM Mag IMO. I’d suggest trying 100 grains to start.
I’ve taken deer from 30 to 245 yards with it. I have a Bushnell Elite 3-9x40 on it. I enjoy packing it into the woods. As mentioned, follow through and pick your shot….
