[QUOTE="FearNoWind, post: 979786, member: 50867"] Well, first of all I'd give it to her and see how she likes it. Then, based on what she might like to see different, approach the list of modifications from that perspective. The Tikka T3 is an exceptionally fine rifle and out of the box accuracy is about as good as it gets. The T3 is pretty light so the weight of the rifle may allow more recoil to reach the shoulder than a woman might like. A limbsaver butt pad does a nice job of softening the impact. Let her try as many scope reticles first hand as you can find (asking guys at the range to let her look through theirs and working what she likes into the type of hunting you intend to do is one approach - a varmint scope usually doesn't work very well for long range hunting of larger game) and making sure the pull on the stock fits her well are some good first steps.
