I’ve zero links to the seller but this must tick all the boxes and a great price too

Brocock Contour or Concept.
Single shot version probably best.

This. I have both single shot and multi shot variants as well as an S510. THe smaller and lighter frames of the Brococks are ideal for women or mid teen kids. They are unbelievably accurate as well and dead easy to work on.

Good tips from all. Would add AGT Vixen or Vixen 2 to the list.

Re: your title ...... it seems a fair swop!

Mmm!
If she is with you at the range, your tea wont be on the table when you get home!
Not to mention the ironing, washing, dusting etc!
I would recommend Chocolates and flowers, much cheaper option

She says I live in the 70's, I'll see you there

If my wife joined me at the range I’d treat her to a slap up meal at a nice restaurant en route home!

Not only that, she has joined the club too, bit of in house competition

Check out the Walther realm mk2

 

[Smudgerii]

There is (or was) an fn12 in the sales which are lovely. Brocock contour are great too

I’d second the FN12 all the accuracy you’d ever need

Huntsman revere

all day long…. Fantastic gun.

 

[Pellet or Pilot]

Hw110. As stated above not a well liked rifle in the 2nd hand game but it’s a lovely lightweight. Let me know if this is an option and I’ll list one.

Thank you, we will try to find one to test.

FX DRS (any version that suits)
AirMaks Katran
AGT Vixen

They're all at the top end of your budget though.

I tried an FX Dreamline Lite down at the range a few months back. That was a cracking light, short gun and pretty accurate at 35yds.

 

[Rickyd]

Brocock Ranger ….: can adjust the stock to her required length

 

[Caruso]

A lot of specific recommendations, so I will go with some more general advice.

If you currently have a preferred rifle e.g. Weirauch or Air Arms, then a lighter version of the same rifle. Because you will have familiarity with it and can advise on how to get the best from it.

I would recommend multishot PCP over anything else, with a preference for biathlon type lever over a bolt action. I find this easier on the fingers when target shooting 50+ pellets.

 

[Balders]

Fx Wildcat, Airmaks Katran, Artemis p15.
I've got the first 2 and they're superb. I've never shot a P15 only shouldered it. It weighs next to nought and gets good reviews, if you get a good one.

BSA ultra CLX, it must be good my wife stole mine, on the plus side she won’t touch my new R12 CLX, it’s too heavy and we can share magazines. On the minus side the accessories fit both so she keeps grabbing the lighter ones including my brand new carbon fibre bipod

 

[Wing Commander]

From experience, if you yourself are using some classy, upmarket equipment, then your partner is unlikely to want to accept something from the "bargain basement" if/when they become seriously interested in the sport.

Be prepared to spend some money.

 

[Rich79]

The Ultra is always a good bet apart from the shot count, that's the pay off, other than that the AA S400 superlite is also very good with an increase in shots.
I was after a really lightweight pcp a few years ago and nearly bought an FX Dreamline lite with rhe carbine bottle, but I think they're £1100 now, maybe secondhand is better as you also won't lose money.

There really is no substitute for visiting a well stocked shop so your wife can hold and shoulder a few different makes and models. Weight, balance, stock size, shape and style will all play a part in her choice
