If he's not interested in a new/different rifle, I'd spend the "gun money" on a trip to take him on and put that 257 Roberts to use. I know I think more about what I DID with my Dad than the things we did them with. I'd rather fill photo albums and the memory bank than the gun safe.

If a rifle is to be had, I'd not look further than a 308 or a 270 Win and let him help pick the platform.
