Skeet,
The problem with a dot and a new shooter is the dot is round and they do not realize that they are canting the gun. At any distance at all, canting the gun throws the shot off, to the angle of the cant. I have had a lot of dot sights, well over 100 in all configurations, I used a 2 MOA Gilmore in long distance competition for years and that hummer had a level bubble glued on top of the rear ring flat just for that reason, even I after over 30 years as a competitor could not tell when the gun was canted.
Were it me, I would put that little Tasco on the AR. and set the magnification to where she had up close focus (target and cross hairs) for snakes and such. The wife is probably not going to be shooting much distance with precision, so short range focus will probably be the key. If she gets to where she can shoot well with the AR at distance, you can always put a better scope on it.
I like to put the wife in the shooting business without her having to do any thing but flip the safety off and shoot.
