Well i am going to try to get my wife into shooting, my question is, i shoot a 30.06, but i think that's a little too much gun for her. I am considering getting another rifle that she will enjoy shooting AND that i can use on occasion AND to add another gun to the cabinet.. (lots of motives you see)

What would you suggest.? I have never shot any of these calibers only 30.06 and 12 gauges for deer hunting in the midwest. My main goal is to get something lightweight with little recoil that is useful and not to small that i would have to worry about hunting with. I also want to make sure she enjoys it.. to much gun will turn her off to this hobby quickly.
