			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.
