Define the competition or ranges to be shot.
The AR is quite accurate up to 500 yds, even with iron sights. Farther than that a .308 bolt gun with a scope would be my choice. |

An AR would definitly be a good one to start with. Standard A2, 20" configuration. |

Hell buy her a 50 BMG and let her shoot 1000 meters.

The 50BMG with a good muzzle break will kick less than the 300 weatherby Mag. It'll feel more like a 20ga or even less. Again the muzzle break is the big factor.

Depends on what sort of competition she wants to shoot. I shoot my National Match AR (that I built myself from parts) out to 600 yards with iron sights in Service Match Highpower. I would like to build another Palma Gun - I shot Palma matches (1000 yrds +) in High School with a Barrett .50. Right now I'm leaning towards a competition AR upper in 6.5 Grendel with the 28" barrel for my F-Class/Palma rifle.
Before I get a long range rifle done though I'm building another AR for 3-gun specifically. Which, of all the things I shoot, I consider to be the most fun (just started shooting it this year, don't plan on stopping ever). |

3-gun is great - I think she'd probably really like it.
My 3-Gun AR is going to be Duracoated Hot Pink for the sake of the foulness factor; I'm the only woman in 50-60 shooters there and figured since I already stick out like a sore thumb I should have even more fun with it. I already have three other lady shooters in our area who will be joining me in building hot pink AR's and will then start shooting 3-gun with me. Before you know it I'll have an army of women with Hot Pink Assault Rifles and the number of women shooting 3-Gun in my area will increase several fold.

I am exactly same size as her. I have a Remington 700VS .308 with a Pachmayr's decelerator pad and I could shoot that thing all day as long as I don't have to hold it up!
If she's serious about competition, don't limit her because of size! She may get bored with short distances after a while. If you get her something similar to the Rem then she can swap stocks later if she gets more serious. If not, she still has a great rifle. |
