Definitely not the .270 or 7mm Rem Mag. It's a toss-up between the 30-30 and 25-06. I'd lean towards the 30-30, although it would largely depend on stock-fit to her frame and the sights on the guns.

Is she used to iron sights or scopes? What does each of the guns have?

Assuming the same weight of rifle in each (30-30 is probably lighter due to typically shorter barrels) the 25-06 is going to have about 25% more recoil with a louder report. Neither is an excessive kicker though.
