[QUOTE="7magcreedmoor, post: 1366332, member: 48559"] I'd want to make sure the rifle fits her properly. If she's on the tall side or a bit long in the neck the standard length of pull might have her cramped up on the gun too much, and she has too consciously pull her face back when she shoots. That's all well and good until the one time when she forgets to do it and: WHAMMO! Put her in prone, straight behind the rifle, bolt all the way open and if the tip of the bolt touches any part of her face put a spacer between the recoil pad and stock, then if needed move the scope forward until she starts to see the image pull away from the edge of the circle at max magnification. Prone is usually the worst position for scope-eye if the fit isn't right. In any other position she'll get a little more room so this doesn't happen again. After fixing any fit issues, I'd have her dry fire in the house a million times before going hot on the range again. [/QUOTE]
