I'm with them. Go with a caliber that will give him a little bit more margin for error. .223 really sucks as a deer round.

223 is not a good deer caliber and little if any margin for error.You can get a good deer rifle and use managed recoil ammo to virtually eliminate the kick if he is sensitive to that.The 308 and 7mm/08 would be great choices.I had a Model 700 in 270 that I found a youth stock for on Ebay.I got some of the MR ammo and my 8 yr old is a crackshot with it.I kept the original stock so the gun can grow with him.
