Both my Grandson's use a 243 single shot H&R. One is 6 and the other is 7. Open sights with true glow. It works well for us and they shoot year round. I also put a limbsaver recoil pad on them it helped a lot...I started both my daughters with 243's as well.

Good Luck and what memories you will have.

Okay, for the price of the gun you can cut it down for her and still put the recoil pad on. A youth model 243 is what my wife shoots. She is small too. There is a company I can't remember the name but they make a growth stock it click out and grows with the child. You might want to ask the others maybe they know the company.....

My daughter had the same problem. i installed a bi-pod on the front so she could hold it up and put a red dot scope on it to increase eye relief. (A pistol scope would have worked too). I found the main problem for her was reaching the trigger when she tried to get the scope lined up. She also wasn't strong enough to hold the gun up on her own. She shoots a Rossi Youth model .243.

Mathews338,
Called a friend a gunsmith about the stock Co. When he lets me know I'll send it to you.
