MACOLE11, I believe the 981T would be a fantastic gun to start out with. The gun is durable and is reliable :sniper:

You don't indicate what sort of "target shooting" she wants to do.  Smallbore Prone, Silhouettes, Plinking???  Then there is the question of a gun to fit her, (some gals are small enough to need a special gun).  Also is this likely to be a long time investment or just something to get started with with the expectation of something else later.

All that aside, I Like to start new rifle shooters out with bolt guns and new shootgunners with break open guns because of the safety factor.  I can easily see if they have the gun in a safe condition.

Heres a nice "little" rifle for a starter,for a person with shorter arms.  Whittakers has them for $187. http://cz-usa.com/01.detail.php?id=5 http://www.whittakerguns.com/

the marlin 981T is an excellent rifle, right up there with a ruger 10/22
