agreed with Veryolddog, alot of woman are great shots and can handle heavy recoil. my mom shoots a Winchester 70 featherweight in 300wsm. few years ago i watched her shoot a running Muley in the back of the head off hand at 175 yds with it....then again she does rope elk also
but the OP stated the shooter had a shoulder injury recently and cant handle much recoil...so the magnums are out of the question
