Most kids will kill there deer at fairly close range, under 200 yards and probably under 100. Therefore, a 243 is an excellent, as is the 257 Roberts and 250 Savage. Nothing wrong with the 260 or 7/08 if the kid doesn't mind the extra recoil.
I now shoot all my deer with the 260 and will probably shoot my moose and bear with it as well. The 7RM won't see much use unless I'm after elk.
