[QUOTE="Paladin300, post: 1990149, member: 115299"] Because you mentioned the possibility of hunting bear, with its primary purpose being whitetail, I am going to second 7mm-08 and 308. You can't go wrong with either. All three of my kids killed their first deer with 7/08's and 308's. They all fell where they stood. My oldest 24 still hunts with a 7/08 and my youngest 14 a 308. My daughter when she does hunt uses the 7/08. She's 21. They have a ton of other guns to choose from in various calibers but would fight each other over the 7/08, with 120 gr. bullets recoil is almost non existant. They all killed their first deer between the ages of 8 and 12. Your brother should be able to find a nice used Tikka or a new Ruger American in either caliber pretty easily in his price range. I favor the Tikka as that is what my crew primarily hunts with. Both would make a excellent first gun. Blessings! [/QUOTE]
