If i were you I'd buy him a 7mm08, he will be fine with it recoil wise and you can shoot a 7mm08 quite a bit further than a 243 on much bigger game! Nothing gets up after taking a 7mm08,its DEAD no questions asked!

Whack an animal with an 80gr from a .243 and it is toast in a big way. Yep howas are good and accurate can't fault em they make actions for weatherby. Either way whatever falconhell buys as long as it is not a mossberg ATR100 or 4x4 he is a win win situation. My honest opinion forget the suppressed combo for now and invest in the glass department as the scopes are the same as a kilwell huntsman and they are crap. When I get the chance the crapola is coming off and I will be ordering a burris FF2 & burris Rimfire scope deal from optics planet for $219US

So for his money he could get the marlin for $800 plus a burris FF2 scope through optics planet and still cut in under or a smidge over
$1K, With the howa he gets a crappy nikko sterling scope for his 1K
