.260 and 7mm-08 are fantastic deer calibers with low recoil, that have appreciably more punch than a .243.
Your problem is rifle selection. I am sure he would appreciate a lightweight rifle, but they recoil more for any given cartridge. Still, a Remington Mountain Rifle in 7mm-08 would be hard to beat. For a bit lighter, try a Kimber 84 in .260.
Both excellent combinations.
Good luck with your choice.
