I'm also from NS. You should remember that 99% of the shots in NS are under 200 yards and the majority are under 50.
He is going to love anything you give him and there is not hardly a person in NS that thinks 400 bucks is cheap.
Optics are much more important here then back east. I hunted with a fixed 2.5 power down there without a problem. You can get a quality fixed power scope very reasonable.
Be sure and get him out here for some action. My Dad loved his trips to Alberta.
Good luck with your purchase,
MK
