shinbone, here is something to think about... is she hunting with it, or shooting it off the bench...when hunting, she won't even feel the recoil when she gets to shoot a cow or bull, so it won't matter... just so she can sight it in, but if you know her eye relief, you could do that too, assuming it is scoped, the zero is the same for any shooter. but, to answer, there is none. I have both. Practically the same, but like I said before, as long as she doesn't shoot more than 3 or 4 3 shot groups to zero, she won't develop a flinch, and she'll never feel the gun go off when she takes the shot at the elk.
