t3 lite in 06 doesn't recoil as bad as you think.
I have limb saver on mine and it's no problem. I'm debating on my 14 year old to use it this year on her cow hunt.
If you want a TC then the venture with houge stock is very under rated and its heavier stock might absorb the kick little more.

All of them do something better than the 30-06, but none of them do everything as well.
