Cannot say enough nice things about the CZ 527 in 7.62x39. The grandkids call mine "The Little Russian". The rifle is light, handles well, functions smoothly, has ample power, and is incredibly accurate. Oh, did I mention it has a really great single set trigger that your daughter will learn to really love. Look out Dad, she will give you a run for your money with a CZ.
The Russian ammo labeled "Silver Bear" with hollow point bullets will hold a 1.5" group at 100 yards in my CZ. You can get it from Cheaper than Dirt for less than $150 for 500 rounds.
Want to spend more for ammo? You can handload Hornady 123 gr SPs ahead of 27 gr of Reloader 7 for a few bucks more and cut your group size down to 3/4" at 100 yards. This is with my CZ 527 topped with a Leupold 2.5x8 in CZ rings. It had consumed around 2000 rounds without any problems.
This a great way to introduce a young person to a real deer rifle that they can handle [it's under 6 pounds] and will not hurt them. Originally, I bought my CZ for the grandkids. They use it a lot. But, it is such a fun gun to shoot and the ammo is so cheap, that I find myself shooting it more that any other rifle here. We take turns shooting a 6" gong at 100 yards offhand. My 12 year old granddaughter gets upset with herself if she misses. And she does not miss often.
It is a shame that American makers do not have a bolt action sized down for the .223 / 7.62x39 size cartridges. The small size of the CZ helps youngsters get comefortable shooting it. You have chosen the very nicest rifle for your girl.
