What calibers has your son shot comfortably is probably the biggest factor

My wife shoots a 7mm08 and it’s a great caliber but ammo is tougher to find right now. Availability of ammo is the only downside right now

308 is probably the easiest ammo to find right now and lots of variety. It will definitely get the job done

No personal experience with 243

270 is another well tested caliber and how I started ammo is somewhat available right now.

6.5 well no good father would let their son shoot a 6.5 and is a much better caliber for a daughter lol

It really depends on what your son is comfortable with in my opinion. If he is comfortable with a 308 I would go that route because it will get the job done and there is ammo available everywhere I have looked. And I look for ammo everywhere I go lol
