For what it’s worth I really like my Tikka T3 in .270 with a new Redfield 3-9X - have taken two elk and one mountain caribou with it thus far. But it could have been a .308, .30-06, 7mm Mag and/or a .300 Win Mag and done the same thing. Let the young man try some different rifles if that’s an option and see what he likes. It’s good of you to help out a new shooter/hunter - we need more of those these days!!
