I think it has a lot to do with how much abuse that you feel your son can handle. I personally know of two 270's that are real bruisers. If your son is small framed, you might want to think about something in the 24 or 25 calibers. Alot of smaller people or going with the 243 or 6mm guns. The 25.06 is a very good choice, even the 30.30 is a very viable gun, granted it doesn't handle the long range shooting that others do, but in the right hands it has killed a lot of deer and doesn't cause the shooter to hate to shoot it do to abuse.
