In response to the OP, not sure where you are located, what your daughter wants to hunt (I'm assuming deer), or the size of those animals where you are, but where I hunt in the Texas Hill Country (a BIG buck weighs about 150), a .243 would be ideal for your daughter. That's what my son got as his first deer rifle. His was a Remmy Model 7 Youth. Later upgraded with a full size stock. If you're in Iowa or someplace else where the deer are much larger, then the 7mm-08 is a great choice.
