I plan on leaving him most all of my rifles and shotguns as he is the only one of my kids or grand kids that likes to hunt so I wasn't going to make his first rifle an expensive one. He will get those soon enough

I am going to get my 15 year old grandson his first deer rifle for Christmas. He has been using my old 30/30 for a couple of years now and has shot my Remington 30.06 and likes it. As a starter rifle, I am looking at 3, all in 30.06. The Remington 783 with scope for $324.00, The Remington 700 ADL with scope for $442.00 and the Savage 11 DOA Hunter XP with a Bushnell scope for $414.00. I have read the American Rifleman reviews and all 3 have tested well.

Does anyone own any of these and what are your thoughts?
