I had a couple of Bushmasters and they are good guns, check out Walmart prices before you go to a gun show. I agree with Smitty901 that gun show aren't the best value for new guns.
PS: If the scope hit you in the eye while shooting an AR-15 you probably weren't holding the rifle firmly enough against your shoulder the normal distance between an Acog scope and the eye is usually under 2 inches.
Remember not to skimp on a scope as it is just as critical in getting a good scope as the rifle.

The bullets you show are a 5.56x45, a 30-30 Winchester and a 7.62x51 not a 7.62 x39 which the AK-47 uses which is just a little more powerful than the 5.56x45. Even Russia that developed the AK-47 knows the 7.63x39 is obselete and switched over to a 5.45x39 which is even smaller than what the AR15 uses.
What I would suggest from reading Dragonfly's post is an AR-15 with a reflex scope that doesn't need batteries and have someone sight it in at 100 yards.
The reasoning is the 5.56 has very little recoil and a reflex sight she will not have to worry about the scope hitting her in the eye and the learning curve would be a fraction of the time and ammo it would take to learn an AK-47 with iron sights.
Even a child you can teach to use that setup in a few minutes and get good results just put the dot on where you want to hit just like the video games. Takes a lot of training to be able to use iron sights under stress and one of the reasons our soldiers have Acogs or Eotechs that sometime cost more than their rifle.

The center round is a 30-30 Winchester made to be shot in a lever action.
