Hello, I want to surprise my sister by buying her a rifle and having it sent to an FFL near her. How can I do this without getting into trouble? She lives in another state, I would not be present when she picks it up.

Sounds like a solid plan already. If the rifle is shipped to her and she is the one to fill out the paperwork and background check then there really is no problem regardless of who paid for it. Not relevant here, but concerns usually come from a slightly different situation in which people want to buy and transfer a firearm to themselves with the intent to give it to someone else as a gift which could constitute a straw purchase.
