Looking for girls gun

What rifle do i get for a 12 year old girl that i can adjust the Comb height and length of pull. All the youth guns don’t work as the comb is too low and her face is wandering to find the center of the scope.

Hi Dylan, after trying a few options I am finding that the Winchester Wildcat is a great option. It has a factory cheek riser you can purchase, short length of pull, narrow pistol grip and generally just light and easy for small shooters to control. I love it with a bipod (has the picatinny mount for one), this way new shooters can place the rifle aiming down range and then can't accidentally wave the firearm about in an unsafe way, and because it is semi-automatic they don't need to worry about operating the action, instead they can just concentrate on learning good shooting technique with the sights and trigger. The Wildcat does use a LOT of plastic in its construction, and I'm still skeptical on this front in terms of how this firearm will last, but since pistols have used polymer frames for a long time now I think maybe this is just my old-school bias?
 
Dylan,
OK a couple more options I think would be good:

1) Winchester Xpert .22 bolt action. Looks like the bolt version of the Wildcat, but actually much better made firearm, and more expensive to match. Also has the factory cheek riser

2) Ruger American Rimfire. This has a modular stock with different length of pull options, some with and without a "Monte Carlo" style elevated cheek section.

I don't have any direct experience with either of these firearms beyond just handling them in a store, but I would think either would be an excellent rifle for a young shooter.
