It's a cool concept! But I'm gonna nit-pick all the gun autist things.
I'd like her to lean her body more into the rifle, since the CheyTac M200 fires quite a stout cartridge. I'd make sure the butt-stock is actually in contact with her shoulder, and have her lean her head down and towards the viewer to give her a good cheek-weld as well as line her eye up properly with the scope.
I've drawn an example pose with a line-of-action/recoil path. Now, I opted for a flashy and dramatic pose where she is leaning her stubby pony body way forward into the recoil, but I've drawn a little stick figure in the bottom that might be a more realistic pose, since one would like to get as much of ones body beneath the rifle's center mass as possible to stop ones arms from sagging, since this is a very heavy precision rifle at ~16kg (35lbs), that is meant to be shot prone. Making the pose more dramatic is also the reason why I made the head tilt a little extra exaggerated, to really show her bearing down on the rifle.
Ponies shooting guns built for humans will usually give them a more human, anthropomorphized, pose than one might hope for, but there's not a whole lot one can do about that without redesigning the firearm or using unicorn magic to just hover the gun. There is also the divisive question whether one should give the gun hoof sized trigger-guards and carry handles so the ponies can use the gun at all, or not. It depends how autistically picky you want to be, and if you are ready to sacrifice a gun's cool looks for goofy pony ergonomic realism or not.
