I have to agree with Rebelhog you can't go wrong with the Marlin. I'm left handed and I started out shooting right handedand now I can shoot either hand though I need to shoot left handed now becauseof a wrist injury. If he is just starting out you can see which eye is dominant and then teach him to shoot with that hand. My nephews were on the 4h shooting club and their coach was the Texas A&M shooting coach and that is what he recommended. He would take each kid and see which eye dominant they were and teach them to shoot with that hand. He said they would be more accurate shooting with their dominant eye.
