I'm a lefty, but I'm right eye dominant. Best suggestion for you would be to figure out which eye is dominant. After that let her shoot with that eye, unless it's too uncomfortable for her. At that point just shoot left handed with regular non-lefty rifles.

I don't think I've ever shot a left handed bolt action and I shoot primarily left handed with rifles. Like I saw another person on here say, I don't know what I'd do if I had a left handed bolt action to work, it would probably feel rather uncomfortable to use lol

ETA: I've never shot right handed with a rifle, only pistols and shotguns. Just always feels more natural with the left hand. Never had any issue doing so, always did fine in competition shooting with the non-dominant eye with open sights at 100yards
Oh, and welcome to the odd world of a left hander. archery - right hand, pistol - primary left, rifle - left, shotgun - left.
She'll learn to be ambidextrous just because 99% of shite is made for right handers, might as well get used to it now
