.257 Roberts
.25-06
.260
7mm-08
Depends on the wife, though, and her previous experience with long guns. A .270 or .280 are great for the application and would be fine for many women.

No, I'm not a Ruger bigot - just an unabashed fan of their revolvers, M77's and #1's.
A good .30-06 is a 99% solution.
