Rifle fit is probably a bigger factor in his felt recoil and enjoyment than the specific caliber would be. I started my son off with an X-Bolt Micro in 7-08 at 12. He is now 16 and is now 6 feet and 60 lbs heavier than he was. A full size rifle now fits him just fine and he has no issues carrying it all day.
