Awesome!  Great job with the choice of caliber and rifle.  I have helped with alot of hunter ed classes over the years and rifle choice for the new hunter is always the number one question.  My tops are the 7 mm 08 and the 260 rem in that order and only because its easier to find ammo for the 7 if you happen to leave it at home.  Both will take anything that walks on American dirt and you can purchase or load low recoil loads.  best of luck on your trips this fall.  Let us know how it goes.

Another one for 7mm-08 , idk if you can load sub sonic rounds that will still have enough punch to kill a deer though, last thing the kid needs is to wound a bunch of deer, also it IS legal to get a silencer, it takes about a year or so after you file the paper work!! When it comes to him actually hunting with it I don't know if it's legal but it would help while practicing, when it comes time for him to actually shoot a deer or whatever, I bet his adrenaline takes over and he won't even hear the gun or feel the recoil good luck to the young man.. Go gettum kid !!!
