[QUOTE="Dennis, post: 5026663, member: 20424"] It sounds like the issue has more to do with consistent mounting of the gun. If the gun is too big for him and you can get him to mount the gun consistently, then you should be able to mount the scope appropriately so it is where he needs it to be. He shouldn’t have to move his head around to find the sight picture. Tell him the image should fill the scope when he looks at it. Move the scope until it is where he needs it to be. I would buy a scope with low magnification, something that can go down to less than 2x. I assume with that caliber you aren’t shooting more than about 150yds. Buy something quality in a 1.5-6 range or so. If you buy something cheap it won’t be easy to see through it in low light, which is when you need it the most. Eye relief changes with level of magnification on an adjustable scope. So leave it in the lowest setting until he gets used to it. [/QUOTE]
