The Lost Man by Jane Harper (It’s not a traditional Western, but is a noir that takes place in the Outback on a cattle ranch. Not sure if that would be of any interest to him)

You can never go wrong with Louis L’amour and Elmer Kelton. Kelton has won the Spur award for best western novel several times.
If he leans more literary, Larry McMurtry, one of my favorite authors.

Any Ralph Cotton, unless he prefers more grit, in which case, Louis Lamour. Also, Tony Hillerman writes excellent 1970s era westerns / mysteries based in the Dine‘ nation, with Joe Leaphorn and Jim Chee as an integral part of the Navaho Tribal Police. (If he can stream “Dark Winds,” it’s a great start.)

No Country for Girls by Emma Styles – however this is a modern Outback thriller so may not be what he is after.
