[QUOTE="Biggs300, post: 1411828, member: 31342"] I would suggest either a 6.5 CM or 7mm-08. Both have relatively mild recoil. As to rifle make, I would suggest you let her shoulder as many rifles as you can find and let her make the decision. I have a Tikka in a 7-08 that handles nicely. "Our" 6.5 CM is a medium heavy barrel Ruger Target Varmint set up as a benchrest rifle and it was bought for my wife...at least that is the story I told her. With the right bullet, both are very accurate; certainly more than adequate for hunting. [/QUOTE]
