The most important consideration should be the fit of the rifle. He can't learn to shoot well if he is not comfortable holding it. It has been my experience that this is a far more important factor than the choice of caliber.
This will probably require that you purchase a youth model or shorten the stock of a standard size rifle. Giving a kid a poorly fitting firearm with the intention that he "grow into it" is not a good idea.
Good luck and good hunting.
