:plusone: Nose to charging handle. Might need the lower rings for this, but I get the same sight picture every time.

Thanks to this thread and all the input, and that she read it, we got this working for her. We had a little sit down and aimed out the window across the yard. I demonstrated a cross legged shooting position and gave her some instruction. Within about 10 minutes she was able to workout a full view through the scope from 4x-12x which is the full range of the scope, keep a proper cheek weld and have a sharp reticle.

The mount is this Vortex.

Her face and head is smaller than mine and she could likely benefit from a lower height. For now it's working for her. We'll see for sure on the next range trip. Thanks, everyone.

:yes:
Lean forward, not backward.
Like cb said check her eye dominance. I shot rifle for more than 20 years right handed right eyed. Turns out I am left eye dominate, and shooting rifle left handed now.

Only if you don't intend to use the charging handle.

Those work great on AK stocks; not so much on AR15 unless it's a side charge setup.

:plusone:

It works great, but only on side-charging uppers. I went with the ACS-L stock because it has a little more surface area on the side for a cheek weld than the CTR, but it's more like a jaw weld because it's still a bit low.

If she's using a CAR or MOE stock the LaRue R.I.S.R might work for her. It has a moving piece that allows the charging handle to fully cycle.

It's a BCM Gunfighter, non SOPMOD, stock. After a few years in the market, I thought they would have made an accessory piece to top it.

You can still run the charging handle if the stock is extended to position 5 or 6

I did something similar for myself a year ago. She's not the kind of woman that would want something like that for herself. It would have to look intergraded or factory. Even factory custom. BUT. You make me think about a temporary riser just to see how she takes to it.
