My opinion if you or any friends/family own any of the calibers you’re interested in get him to try them out before buying one

At 10 I would shoot my dads 7mm mag no problem but I have seen other teens where a 270 was not comfortable for them. Everyone is different so it’s hard to say what is the right caliber choice unless they have tried them out. The only thing I have seen that is consistent is if the kid is comfortable with the rifle/caliber they become more accurate

This is my thoughts but I also don’t know your boy and you will have a better gauge on what he is comfortable with than anyone who has never met him
