I like Browning products in general but don’t know much about their budget A Bolt. Think all the cheaper Remingtons are garbage & Savage Axis is not my favorite and the cheap Ruger doesn’t point well for me.

I’d buy the new Vanguard based on what I have personally used and seen in my hunting group but he needs to see what fits him best Id like to give him a good short list.
I've got a Venture and a Compass here. They're both cheap junk and I
wouldn't buy another though they both shoot pretty well. A vanguard is twice the rifle of either.
