[QUOTE="Martyn, post: 1990059, member: 109843"] The truth is that the best rifle for your brother is the one that he shoots best, does the job you want to do and one that you can get quality Ammo for in your area. From what you’ve said that he’s shot before he’s not particularly recoil shy and for both the .308 and 30-06 the range of both Ammo and projectiles for reloading is pretty much unmatched plus you can buy good feed for both of these calibres pretty much anywhere. If bear is truly going to be on the menu then it’s tough to beat something like a 180 or 200 grain Partition, I never had one get up from that, or an A-Frame or such. Unsurprising but good bullets is the trick here. They do recoil some but for practice on the range and on Whitetail with light to mid weight (130-160 grainers) will help get him get to know the rifle. The rifle needs to fit well and as he’s only 17 and probably has some growing to do something where you can adjust the LOP would be helpful. I do like Magpul hunter stocks for price and adjustability. Hope this helps. [/QUOTE]
