I bought my little girl a .243 when she was 9. It is a sub minute Savage 10. She has killed 22 deer with 22 shots. When she was a teenager our elder cousin gave her a .270 Ruger 77 that has double the recoil of the .243. She is 28 and gone from home now. She left me the .270 and took the .243. I think I would let the kid decide which rifle he wants after borrowing a .270 for him to try out.
