Mod 7 Remington in in 243, 260 or 7mm-08. I'd definitely shy away from 30-30 in a lever gun.
The Ergonomics and stock design on a Marlin or Winchester lever gun is terrible especially for a women and proper cheek weld ( even on a shortened stock ) is nigh impossible and would result in greater felt recoil than more potent calibers. Been there, done that with my grandson and it beat him to death.
