Savage has the 16/116 fhsak model in elk suitable calibers. They are pretty handy and lightweight rifles, but they come with a factory muzzle brake that can be turned off for when hunting without hearing protection. Also hodgdon has reduced recoil loads on it`s website, and i think remington or someone makes reduced recoil factory ammo to start recoil sensitive hunters out on. And as for recoil and size, i have a 12 year old who is on the thin side and will have nothing to do with a gun that "kicks", his little 7 year old brother will shoot anything, even if it knocks him down, he jumps up and would shoot it again if i would let him.
