I would suggest a 7mm-08 or .243 if you're small and a beginner A .270 or .30-06 will make you flinch and, like I said, if you're just starting out, will be very unpleasant at first. While both are wonderful cartridges for hunting just about anything, they kick...hard. And if you're getting a youth model, it will kick even harder. If you're not going to hunt elk, the .243 will do fine. If the elk really are likely to be involved, get the 7mm.
