My wife is pretty recoil sensitive, so I won't be getting her anything too large. I'm debating between a .243 Win, .25-06, .260 Rem or 7mm-08 Rem. I think maybe the 7mm-08 may be above her comfort zone, and .260 Rem is semi-rare and ammo is more expensive. So it'll probably be a 25-06 or .243.
All good choices, IMO. But you say the 7-08 is possibly too much, so you'll maybe go with a 25-06. Won't a 25-06 kick more than a 7-08?
