HW95K or Air Arms S200 in my opinion. My seven year old has her eye on my S200 . Very light and ideal for lighter/smaller folk, the best value for money PCP available. The HW95K an excellent springer that would be just as suitable.

S200 is the tool as al said.My daughter started using a modified ratcatcher,then on to the s200

BSA Ultra or a falcon raptor lighthunter 12, both smaller than the AA200 and better looking, buy second hand and sell on if it does not suit or he loses interest.

As said above, depends if you want spring or PCP, but an S200 or King Ratty would be good starts

It depends wether you want to start him on a springer or pcp, for a pcp then go for the s200, springer maybe a bsa lightning

i'm going try and get the ratcatcher, they look pretty light enough for him to start off on.

so which are the most popular sites where i might get a second hand one and whats usually the going rate for them, thanks for the help
