[QUOTE="Montanasloth, post: 1060849, member: 88494"] You could always get a 270 with a 22 inch barrel, mine kicks about as hard as my 4 year old when she is real angry. Put a good recoil pad on it. My sister is fairly new to hunting and she is pretty small in stature.. don't think she's broke 100lbs. She shoots a 30-06 no problem. but when she was sensitive to recoil my dad got her a shoulder pad that she would just wear. And you will most likely have a few layers on during elk hunting which will help t alleviate some of the recoil. Caliber doesn't really matter as much as most people make it out to be. Shot placement is everything. My dad has killed elk out to 400 yards with a 243. Get a rifle he can shoot well and that he is comfortable with and make sure he is practiced out to where you want to shoot and have fun making memories to last a life time. [/QUOTE]
