An easier transition to a more powerful rifle would be to match the action type, as close as is reasonable, to your .22.
Depends what are you expecting to shoot with it? There are caliber restrictions for certain game. Or is this for 2 legged critters.
I agree. Quality rifle and often comes with a red dot optic
You did see where she said she was a 5'2" woman who wants to step up from her .22, right? LOL

The Savage 325s are remarkably accurate for what budget rifles they were. I have one in 222 Rem. I recently acquired a Howa 1500 in 7.62x39 - a very soft shooter
I hope I never stumble on one for sale. I don't NEED another 7.62x39!
I will hazard; you will get more reliable responses when you provide adequate information, rather than making a generic post. Normally, "powerful" and "recreational" do not apply to the general recreational shooter. Just saying!
That's a step up from a 22. She failed to mention the size of step.
Your budget will dictate that. If you're looking for something intended for self defense as well as recreational shooting, I'd suggest a descent quality AR with a light weight 16" barrel.
You don't know want you don't know. I suspect the OP doesn't know, so assuming that is the case how is she to know what is "normal" or what to ask the first place?I will hazard; you will get more reliable responses when you provide adequate information, rather than making a generic post. Normally, "powerful" and "recreational" do not apply to the general recreational shooter. Just saying!
A guy I know wanted me to install a Geissele trigger in his Sig M400 (it wasn't the Rose model) and got to say I was less than impressed. The pivot and takedown pins had to be beaten out and the come the find out the tumbler of the selector was not relief cut to allow the removal or installation of the trigger without removing the selector which was ambidextrous and roll pinned in place. So lame. I ended up telling him I needed my armorers box with the appropriate tools. That should not have been needed. He ended up taking it to a "gunsmith" who changed him $60, I laughed and told him he was a dumbass, but whatever.
