I think a 30-06, 308, or 270 is a good starter rifle for any new hunter. Maybe a Howa, Vanguard S2, Ruger m77, TIka. Lots's of used 30-06's on the market out there. He needs to spend some time shooting. Confidence in your rifle, goes a long ways, to accuracy. Buy a used scope in the classifieds, he's good to go.
