I would let her shoot a variety to see what she likes. Gun fit of course, ease of controls and how nice it looks.
I have suggested when ladies are shooting a variety the idea of learning with a bolt gun, with irons is a great way to get the correct basic fundamentals. Ladies understand this, many took the suggestion to learn handguns shooting a revolver double action only and are so grateful for having done so.
Still..."I want pretty and fun" - I respect that. Last lady chose the Marlin 60 in the Woodtone finish. She liked not having to have a magazine - just a self contained gun. She is turned off by 10/22 because of all the aftermarket stuff she sees.
One lady got the Marlin 39, she inherited a Marlin lever in 30-30 - so she wanted .22 practice and learning with it, to assist with the centerfire ( something I agree with, having a .22 platform like center fire).
One lady "went for the gold". He daddy "had" 4 Browning .22 Autos. Basically she went bonkers, and " hey dad, I am stealing this gun and the rest of this brick" .
Dad of course knew this was going to happen...
Another "stole" her grandpa's Rem Feild master pump gun ( she shoots pump shotguns).
Funny part is, many of these ladies have been around the kids we hang with. Single shot .22 rifles of various makes.
They shoot these, even being kid sized. "You know, you [me/others] suggested a bolt gun to learn on, but we chose ____ at the time".
Now they find a old Rem 514, or some such at the pawn shop, newspaper, gun show...whatever and have a ball with a single shot .22 rifle.
They have what they wanted and picked out. Pretty, good looking, sentimental, and all that.
Now they have a fun single shot, mess with cleaning up the stock and "A girl cannot have too many .22 guns you know?"
Dang Women!
