I started out with a 7mm Remington mag. But I was a huge kid, and my dad was a jerk. It was years before I finally got a .243, and used it on my first deer.
Watch the classifieds here. I picked up a custom VZ24 7mm-08 on here that is pretty light on recoil, and was $400 with a 4x scope already mounted. It was a purty looking rifle to boot.
I took my 11 now 12 year old out last year for his first deer hunt. I bought him a Howa 1500 youth 243, we used 80gr Winchester Power Points. My son is a little small for his age, but he did just fine. "RANT" just fine I guess he shot a 260lber first time out. He's grounded for the next 5 years.
