Yeah seen it was in a Ranger that's why I was bust'n on ya.
Yeah the 7MM-08 has a moderate recoil, and can be a good rifle for him to kind of grow into. It is a very accurate rifle, and a good deer hunting caliber as well. I definitely say go with this over a 7MM, or a .308, because all a 7MM-08 is, is a 7MM bullet, with a .308 casing. Best thing for him to do is see what feels best to him. That is the only way I knew what I liked. Different strokes for different folks.
