6.5 CM and be done with it.
My .257 Roberts is my favorite rifle and with +P brass and ammo it oes most everything I need done. But the 6.5CM is the winner in terms of ammo and component availability. Buy the kid a rifle he can use all his life.

No, I'm not a Ruger bigot - just an unabashed fan of their revolvers, M77's and #1's.
A good .30-06 is a 99% solution.
