Default Rifle for youth

Not to start another thread but I guess I have too.
I have a .243 already but it's a vaminter and is just to damn big and heavy for my 9 year old. It weighs like 14lbs fully rigged. It is not very practical even for me. I will never buy a bull barrell again.
I am thinking about the NEF Ultra hunter for him. I dont really want another .243, the only other caliber the Ultra comes in that moves me is the 25-06, I wish it came in the 7-08 but it doesnt. What is the .25's recoil like in the small NEF, it weighs 7 lbs. Never owned a 25-06
Does anyone own the Ultra in the .25, whats your opinion on it
