I'd snag a Remington 700 "SPSS". I just picked one up, retail / over the counter, for $800. If he's not a rifle loony, snag one in .270 for easy. Anyone who thinks there's two sides to everything hasn't met a M�bius strip. Here be dragons ...

"Go to the sporting goods store. From the files, obtain form 4473. These will contain descriptions of weapons and lists of private ownership."

Who makes a quality rifle in today's world for about 1 grand? For one grand, laterally anyone. You can walk into any gun store spend $400 on a packaged rifle and chinseium scope deal and it will shoot a deer.... Or, did you want something a bit more 'special?'
