I agree with popplecop's assessment wholeheartly. I don't think you'll go wrong with the 7mm/08, and that includes even Moose. I'd love to have a 260, but as was mentioned bullet selection is sometimes hard to come by. My only concern with your picks would be the recoil for a 12 year old. Now you know your son better than we do, can he handle the recoil of a 7mm/08 at this point in his life, probably, but who know's. If I had a friend who had one, I'd sure see if I could borrow it for a shooting session before I spent that much money on one, but like I said you know your son better than we do. JMO
