I agree on getting a scope with plenty of eye relief. That is really all that is needed along with instruction on getting the best sight picture. a well fitted stock helps a great deal too.

I myself won't put a scope on a rifle unless there is at least 3.5" of relief, and most of my set ups are around 4" of relief.

Though not everybody loves them, Leupolds have plenty adequate eye relief.

Many cheap scopes require you to creep in on the ocular lens to get the best sight picture. Unfortunately that is a good way to have the shooter sport the mark I call the "learning curve". That's the semi-circular eye gash one wears when cramming in to close to a rifle whose recoil surpasses the eye relief and grip of the shooter.

Good luck with your young'in.
