260 (6.5 Creedmoor) & 7-08 would be worth a look too.

Just my .02 and experience with youngsters and deer rifles.
My little nephew hunted with me for a couple trips using our 257 roberts. He was 10 years old. The next year, he wanted to shoot my 308 and did so very well. (Tikka T3) shot a doe at 239 yards. Kid is a better shot than i am.
For Christmas last year, his dad got him a Ruger American Predator in 6.5 CM with a nikon 4-12x42. Its easier on him with lighter recoil than the 308 and it’s just a deadly accurate rifle. He paid right at $450 for the gun/scope combo. Shot a 5”x6” plate at 150 off shooting sticks and flopped his first axis closer to 160 yards.
Personally, i would go with the Ruger American Predator just from my personal experience with it for a cheap rifle. If you are not stuck on 308 cartridge, look into the 7-08 or 6.5 cm, especially if its for a youngster.
I’m about to buy one for myself
