Shes going to be 16, and enjoys shooting more than boys still, which is fine by me, and we are having a 10/22 custom parkarized for her, in a wonder woman theme, which she loves. The gun that she enjoys shooting the most, between mine and my uncles collection.
The question I have is, how should we surprise her with it, my plans are to go to my local range and gun shop, prior and ask them to put it on the rack with the other rifles and tell her I'll get her any one that she wants, and let her find it.
Or maybe surprise her on the range

Being a firearm, not really wanting to give it to her in front of random friends and family, of which not all enjoy target shooting as much as my family does, or who have never shot a gun before.
