Just myself I would sugest the .243. My wife is about 90 pounds and her first year she shot at two, and dropped them both. Shot placement is key, but it is no matter what you are shooting. A bad shot will wound a deer with any caliber. The only thing I dont care for about the 30-30 lever is you need to go thru the chamber to unloaded it every time. Not the safest for a new hunter, but a great caliber. If she is taught correct, and practices that .243 will drop any whitetail deer. To many hunters take a few shot's to make sure the gun is on, and go hunting. Myself and my wife go out four or five times before season. You will get more accurate, and gain alot of cofidents no matter what you decide on for her. Practice also is alot of fun, and learning. Good luck on whatever you decide on, be safe, and have fun.
