Default woman needing gun selection advice

I'm about to start my 3rd season of deer hunting (Love it! love it! love it!). I've either used my muzzleloader or my neighbors .270. This year, I'd like my own rifle, so seeking your advice. Factors in order of importance are: 1. price (support myself) 2. weight. not as strong as I used to be and between climbing hills and mtns, plus holding gun for long amounts of time, makes this very important. 3. accuracy. 4. recoil. I'm not shy on this, but the less the better.

Other info that might help for you to advise me:
5'5" approx. 135lbs...so about average for a woman, I guess
age 52 (as of 3 days ago, and not getting any stronger)
arm stretch length from top of shoulder bone 27" to end of middle finger. 21" to wrist bone.

I'm a novice, so looking for your input.
