The main thing we should ask first is 'what are you really doing with this rifle', then all this will come into play. No good putting on a very high magnification scope with all the whiz bangs on a rifle that will only ever shoot perhaps 50 yards or so!
We are starting to see a lot of younger folks out at our range, including young ladies which is marvellous. Their partner normally has them out for the first shoot with a .308 or they may have some experience with a 22LR. The young bucks may think its fun to boot his girlfriend from one side of the shed to the other for a lark, only for the club to never to see her again!
I have over the years got these young ladies aside & started them on say my 223, explaining to them first what do you want in a rifle, what different types of events we have, showing them or pointing out the different rifles so that they understand & that we're on the same page.
Its not uncommon to see a young one ask the range officer about a certain rifle types, mostly someone is there with what they asking about & the owner will normally give them a go of their own personal rifle.
Most of my gear is nothing really flash but with a little coaching they do surprisingly well considering their experience, some have even shot the pants off their hubbies! Gets the blokes a bit huffy, but when you mention that they'll now have to get another rifle for the missus the cogs get turning - win win situation.
