I agree with the 243 recommendation.
Something about recoil, you feel recoil a lot less from a well fit gun. I had a Savage 110 in 30-06, one shot and my sholder was bruised. I now have a Thompson Center in 300 Win Mag, 10 shots no problem. The TC fits well, the Savage fits poorly.
Point being, a well fit gun/scope combo she may be able to handle a 308, a poor fit combo could make a 223 too much.
