I'm neither a gunwriter or a guide, but I would suggest a Browning BAR in .308. If even that recoil is too much, have a brake put on it.

There's a BAR for sale here; GunBroker LINK

Load it with premium bullets, no less than a 165 gr Barnes TTSX, and go forth and kill her bear.

Loaded with 130gr TTSX, she can kill anything else in North America.
