Savage lady hunter in a 7mm-o8. You would be amazed at how much a well fitted rifle stock will cut down on felt recoil. These guns were designed by Savage specifically to fit women shooters and the 7mm-08 is a great low recoil cartridge. I have shot just about everything with the 7mm-08 and it has never disappointed me. The 270 or 308win would be a great second choice IMO. You owe it to yourself to get down to the gun dealer and handle one of these, I doubt that you will be disappointed.
