Hehe, i am 14 and the same height as your 11 year old, and you want to know what i use? A Ruger m77mk2 left handed bolt action in .30-06. A sweet gun to start with is the Ruger 96/44 in .44 Rem Mag. The one that i used had a Weaver V3, 1-3x20 scope on top. Nice lil combo with 275 grain core-lokts. Shoots nice, kicks marginal. Gun is cheap. Also a lever. easy to use. Only problem is that the safety sucks for lefty people. My words of advice, DONT GET ANYTHING MORE THAN 7 LBS!!!! THAT IS WITH A SCOPE IF YOU SO CHOOSE.
