AR with adjustable stock is hard to beat for small people.

Alternately, a Mini-14 plus .22 adapter.

If she expects to hunt deer, you might want to look at a bolt gun in .243 or .270.
You can get a Stevens 200 in .270 at Academy for under $250.
:iagree:


im with this fella ... an AR with a .22 upper or kit . she can pump out the .22 while learning the rifle and you will both love it . sounds like she dont wanna girlie gun but a good .22 will never go to waste and it will be down right fun . and shooting a 5.56/ .223 isnt a big deal for a woman if she's into .

if your going bolt gun id say .243 /. only hands on i have with a .270 is my buddies rem 700 and i has much more felt recoil than my .308 tactical rem 700
go figure ..
Weight of the firearm has much to do with felt recoil. Heavier guns seem to recoil less.

Re: Any suggestions for a small-framed woman's first rifle?

For a bolt action the "youth" model of the offerings from any of the major rifle makers in .243 would be an excellent choice for a small woman. Also the suggestion of an AR15 carbine with adjustable stock in .223 or any of the other calibers they are available in.

The advise to start her with a .22 is spot on.
