Fantastic rifle for the money. Some people don't like the regular synthetic stocks they come with but I think a lot of them have Houge stocks.

It is Howa 1500 with the Weatherby name and can be had with some different stocks.
Maybe this is illogical but I would only own a Weatherby in a hotrod Weatherby Caliber.
I've got a Howa 1500 in 6.5Creedmoor and it is a nice rifle.

They are well made rifles with good solid actions. The only con I can think of is the possibility of it being a bit heavy for a young hunter. There aren't however a lot of inexpensive light rifles.The only thing that comes to mind is the Savage light weight hunter and maybe the CZ 527 carbine in 7.62X39.

How old is your son? A good youth option is the Weatherby Vanguard Camilla. Pretty wood stock, scaled back dimensions for females and younger hunters. HES 11 and a husky feller but he has alligator arms.lol

Good solid rifles, if you don't like the stock there are options to replace it with.
If I agreed with you, we'd both be wrong.
