being hes 100lbs i recomend no bigger than a 25 caliber rifle.
i was about his size and started this great sport with a 270 in model 700. i tell you what this rifle was my downfall it caused a big flinch that took years to work out of me..;
ive got little girl now and shel start with either a 257 roberts or a 6mm. but thats still aways off.
ive shot lots of rifles over the years most all in the 2506 to 3006 cliber range. these rifles all have a stout recoil exscept for the 2506.
the 2506 is my go to all around varmit bigame rifle. and will continue to be for years to come. i also have 3006 and 270 these get pulled out the closet only a few times a year to make sure theyre sited in or do some test load when im bored.
the 2506 has seen thousands of rounds. and has made shooter out of me. i now religusly reload for all my calibers and this one seees sometimes 100rds just testn loads. the other two i cant stand to shoot at the bench.

ps there
is enough factory ammo fir the 257 rob or the 2506 to fill your need from mice to deer
