New hunter, one gun for hunting.
Lots of good ideas stated here, for that one gun in the $500 range.
With new hunters, the enthusiasm after a couple years may wane, you never know. He may not stick with it.
Seems better to get a moderately priced, but good, shooting rifle. If he really wants a .270, seems that 270 has a little more "snappy" recoil than the 30-06, for some reason, from my experience. It would be better to get a rifle in that caliber, with a little weight on it, not a lightweight rifle. I realize though, that recoil, for many is a subjective thing.
But, its not rocket science, in any event.
