I am helping a dad who is wanting to purchase a gun for his young son. He want stainless snd something that the guy can grow into and use later possibly for bear and elk. To start with he will be using it for deer. So are there options that have a stainless barrel along with an adjustable stock? The kid is currently 8 or 9. We were planning on getting something that we can buy reduced recoil loads for to begin with. I amtrying to stay away from replacing the stock if I can. I am also somewhat open to suggestions in clambering. Was seriously thinking 7mm08 or 308
