I was worried about the same thing with my 12 year old daughter earlier this year.
I contemplated getting a youth model, but after spending lots of time fitting at different stores we ended up finding her a Remington 700 ADL in .243. It was just a touch large for her in the spring but by time hunting season came around it was just about right. She shot it all summer long and was extremely comfortable with the recoil, and she is a bean pole. She loves the gun and I will not have to buy a new gun when she gets older because it will fit her as an adult.
Here is some pics of her shooting it early this summer.
