Take a look at a HOWA if your in the 1k ish price bracket,scoped in stainless for 1099 from memory. And make sure it has a Hogue stock on it, they are imo the most comfortable stock ever made! they also have a really nice rubberised grip texture to em,and the recoil pad is really spongey... check em out you cannot go wrong! If i were you I'd buy him a 7mm08, he will be fine with it recoil wise and you can shoot a 7mm08 quite a bit further than a 243 on much bigger game! Nothing gets up after taking a 7mm08,its DEAD no questions asked!
