[QUOTE="greenejc, post: 1640825, member: 60453"] Get him a Ruger American in 243, 7mm 08 or maybe 25-06. All are great deer rounds, with the 7-08 being a good elk round inside about 250 yards or so. You can get it with a youth stock and buy a standard stock later, or just buy the standard stocked rifle now. All these chamberings are very controllable, with the larger calibers giving a little more range/impact for anchoring deer. Get him a Luopold VXII or III scope, Millet Angle Lock rings, and zero for 200 yards. Everything will be line of sight out to at least 275 yards, and he'll love the accuracy. The 25-06 or 243 will double as a varmint round, too, so he'll get to use it for more than just one hunt. [/QUOTE]
