I'd like to get a rifle for my son's ninth birthday. Something substantial. I was thinking about a 6mm. Do you guys think this is too much for him? What are your thoughts.

I'd recommend a .22 rimfire as a first learning-and-training rifle. More places in which to shoot is part of it. Less expense during the learning curve of sight picture and trigger control. don't forget the hearguards, even with a .22.
As for type of rifle, I'd stay away from a semi-auto, to eliminate the temptation to spray-and-pray. Self-discipline and concentration is very, very important in the beginning; it carries over to the future.
