To me there's no rifle more versatile than a 30-06. Anything from 55 gr to 220 gr bullet, will take down anything in N. America. Ammo is readily available anywhere in the world.

The savage accustock allows length of pull an comb changes. Might be good for a growing person. Savage 110 in 7 08. With camo stock. Bushnell elite 4500 4x 16 scope. Dang now I want one. Maybe a 308 though.and a wood stock.

Oddly enough
... we found... a mint low round Weatherby Sub-MOA blued model with B&C stock that fits him strangely well. In .270 win to boot.

Exciting he's interested in the hunt, potential life-long memories to be made. Fine job on the gun shopping, this might be the start of a long time one gun man or a fun buy/sell hobby. Either way, well done!!

I bought my son a 7mm 08 in Kimber Montana. He shot a couple deer with it but he didn't care for it, so I got him a .308 win in a Kimber Mountain Ascent.

Just buy something that will last and get a break on it if your concerned he wont be able to shoot it well. 300wm any prc, 6.8 western, 7rm, all have large variation to what they can shoot and all are easy with a break.

Are you looking to adopt? I'm 68 y/o. I don't have any college loans, and I'm pretty handy around the house.
