Should I compensate for

It sounds like you may have a parallax problem.

At the range, clamp the gun in a vise, aimed at a 100 yd. target. Without moving the gun, move your head while still looking through the scope. If the crosshair appears to move on the target, you need to adjust the parallax correction on the scope. ( <font color="red"> IF </font> it is adjustable.)

The difference in how your cheek and face causes your eye to be positioned behind the scope, and how your wife's facial features cause her eye position to be different, could account for a couple of inches, or more, depending on the brand and quality of scope.

Sight the rifle in for your wife and be done with it. Just because it is zeroed for you does not automatically make it zeroed for everyone. Even with a scope. If she is using the rifle, take her to the range and adjust the scope to hit where SHE aims it.

It depends, is she getting a good group? Where it hits on the paper means little if its a tight group. As long as it is consistant (decent group) who is to say she is not doing it correctly and you are off? If she is shooting consistant, by all means adjust the scope to center the group.
