Hmmm, I have a Mini-Mauser 223 with a shortened stock for grandkids and may have her shoot it first to see if it fits before I order a "sight unseen" youth Vanguard.
..................Sometimes you just have to go with your gutt, buy the best rifle you think will work fine and then say,,,,,"here ya go",,,,"enjoy".....
Too much over analyzing is not be a good thing either. Regardless of whatever rifle you get her, there will always be little quirks here and there that will have to be overcome, which more than likely can be easily dealt with and easily adapted to.
