I despise the Ruger American for the safety not locking the bolt. You basically can't carry it on your back without the bolt opening.
Fine for a range rifle, deal breaker for a woods rifle. May as well just get a 10/22.

I wouldn't think so. Most rimfires are set up for about that. I'm 6'4", so I have to do a little more.Originally Posted by Nephrology

Either a CZ (any CZ) or the Thompson Center TCR22.
There’s absolutely a reason to go with a youth sized model. For someone that height, the CZ youth length stock should be perfect.

My advice is to give her a "gift certificate" and a picture of your suggested gun, then go let her pick out her own from the local fun store. Make a date out of it.
That being said, 10/22 of any given variety... have her check them out on Ruger's site.
Don't think this was mentioned yet. CZ 457 has a 60-degree bolt lift, so you can mount a scope lower. And an adjustable trigger.

Other good thing about the CZ 457 is that it has a “normal,” push forward to fire kind of safety (most of the other CZ rifle models are annoyingly backwards) which will be similar to the operation of the safety on the Winchester she already has.

If she doesn’t like the recoil of the .30’06, try some reduced recoil loads. They’ll still punch a deer’s ticket, without beating her up.
That's not a very good price for a $200 rifle and a $70 scope. https://www.budsgunshop.com/product_...+carbine+22+lr https://www.amazon.com/Viridian-3-9x...1ERZVD44JNSEHKMost recent add to the ruger site:

I’m generally not a fan of "packages," but the Ruger 10/22 (and many Talo or Lipsey offerings) are an exception. At $399 full retail, this exact rig should be easily had in hand for 350 OTD.
Don’tcha love how eager P-F is to spend your money?
I stand corrected. Although the cheapest new 10/22 on their site is 3 bills and change.
