OP put up a SPS tactical, which is the bull barrel version. A standard one is probably cheaper



Correct, this one is the tactical with a 20" barrel. Is there any advantage to the bull barrel over a standard?

The theory is the extra mass of the bull barrels make them less susceptible to overheating from shooting a bunch. An overheated barrel can cause point of impact changes. Also easier to thread the end for a muzzle break or suppressor.

If you don't need a threaded barrel and are just using the gun to shoot a few deer every year a standard barrel profile is fine.

Get the son to handle multiple rifles and see what feels good in his hands. Also, plan on around $400 for a scope.
