Have you looked into a .300 wsm???
He is exactly right! the 300wsm is awsome! how old is he? he might not be able to handle the recoil if he is that young

hey, if you like that A-bolt, consider shopping used to find one for your son

you should be able to find one scoped for less than $700

if you don't have local shops w/ used guns, try Gun List at the newsstand or...

Thanks for the replies This is a college grad present from dad so I'm sure he will be able to handle the 300 mag I will take a look at the rem. & also take a look at dicks sporting goods
i would try wal-mart for a rifle. they will usually match the price of other stores. are you looking for wood or synthetic stocks? the most common caliber for wal-mart is the 30.06 but i bought my .300 rum from them. i would try maybe a Remington model 700 adl in the .300 win mag and order a burris fullfield II from swfa on line. you should be able to get this packaged for under $700. knowing that your son is graduating college he'll probably have more time hunting. he should enjoy that present. good luck.
