Toddlers is almost exactly what they're made for. Young'uns with short arms.
Your budget will determine what rifle, but I'd suggest a mag fed bolt action like a Savage Mk II. Said mags do not have to be filled right up.
And 58" is a bit below average height for a 10 year old. Depends on who you ask though. Doesn't matter anyway. His LOP is what matters.
Have him hold a yard stick like he's going to shoot it. Where his trigger finger is on the stick is his LOP.
"...wood stocks don't have inserts..." Just costs more.
"...can't cock either of them..." Heavy springs can do that.
"...outgrow them in a year or two..." Sometimes a lot faster.
