My youngest son started shooting a 270 when he was 10, BUT I put together an Encore with a heavy varmint contour custom shop barrel and added a Limbsaver pad to the stock. Basically, it recoils like a warmly loaded 243.
As far as the BAR, I am not really familiar with them, but with the "right" gun, a 270 should be doable for a kid that size.
