+1Find a rifle that fits her first and go from there. My wife had a Savage Ladyhunter that fit her very well, but to each their own.
6.5x55, 270WIN and 7x57 would all be great starters and useful well into adulthood.
The Savage Lady Hunter has the best stock of any rifle for women. My gal Tina just found one in .223 to add to the .257 Roberts she already has. Every woman that I have seen that was able to try the Savage Lady Hunter, chose it over everything else. Tina got hers through the Savage Custom Shop, and they are willing to do most any caliber that will work in a short, or long action. Her barrel is also 2 inches longer than the factory Lady Hunter. Savage had it ready in just over 3 weeks.
