How small is she? Mossberg makes about the best one I think. Has she actually looked at the youth model 12 gauge? It has a short length of pull and the pump is closer to the reciever. Not to mention they port them and give you three chokes with it.

I was looking at youth models when I got mine and it was the smallest I found. H&R might have one smaller, but I don't know about 12 guage. As a matter fact when I was looking mossberg had the only 12 guage youth model. I don't know if others make them, but I didn't see them in stock anywhere.
