A .243 is an ideal Caliber with less recoil and it will put a Deer down just fine,as far as the 7mm-08 it would be another great choice and if You want to tone down the recoil even more simply buy the Remington Managed Recoil Shells and Your have a lighter recoil Rifle that has more knock-down power....and we're talking Bolt-Actions to use the Remington MR shells.
I would look at the *New Savage Lady Hunter Rifle....it's made to fit a smaller stature Hunter,is well made and a great looking Rifle!I really like the flatter oil finished walnut stock and overall appearance of it!
