One thing that will really help with the recoil is a rifle that fits the lad. A quality recoil pad would help as well.

I gave my son a .243 Ruger M77 for his 12th birthday. He is still killing deer with it, some 26 years later. On his birthday this past December, I finally got him to accept and install a new Pentax Lightseeker scope. He has been using the original 4X Weaver for all these years.
