While You can make suggestions, my suggestions it to take him out shopping and maybe shooting. In today's market, if you have a decent range near by that rents firearms, you might let him see how he likes a few of the different styles of long guns that are out there. He may go for the lever since it is like the Red Ryder, but he might find a semi-auto that he really likes also.
And it is an excuse to go out and spend some time at a range and some time with your dad. That makes it a win-win to me.

Re: HD for the elderly- need some suggestions
For my 86 year old father, I bought an S&W M&P9 M2.0 Compact 4" which he carries in a Safariland 7TS ALS. He is accurate and surprisingly fast at self defense distances. I'm 68 and carry my M&P9 5" openly at 3 in a Safariland 7TS ALS. We all have our individual limitations and abilities, but age does not have to be a limitation.
