O.K., I'm going to jump in again. As a retired Gunsmith and stock-maker, what ever caliber you decide on the fit of the stock is a deciding factor on accuracy and recoil. The better the stock fit the more of your body will absorb and distribute the recoil. The better the fit the quicker and more accurately a shot can be made. I lean towards the 7-08 as with the new ammo coming on the market I think the selection issue is a mute point. What ever rifle and caliber you choose, make sure she is comfortable handling and shooting it.
