Of course we remember you and it was great to meet you.
I really can't think of anything to challenge the HW30S. Lightweight, compact, superb trigger, super-refined firing cycle, very accurate and forgiving.
However, do be aware that they're not "full power", producing about 7ft.lbs in .177 and 8 ish in .22. But you don't ever feel the need for more power when you're marvelling at its lovely manners and ease of achieving the accuracy.
If you did find that the cocking effort was a little too much, you could de-tune further still and then "up the spring" as time goes by, although, maybe with a little confidence and getting herself slowly used to the cocking technique this may not be required?
There may well be other lightweight, easy to cock junior rifles, but the 30S has the accurately machined and quality feel of the HW brand, that simply superb trigger and it's a rifle that many grown-ups absolutely adore.
