Find an A400 20-ga. "Upland" model with the Kickoff recoil reducer. It is in the middle of the stock, which allows you to shorten the stock if she needs that.

20-ga. recoil is not that great a concern in hunting because so few shots are fired, but if she ever starts shooting clays with it, the Kickoff is real nice.
