Devon 26 Posted July 10, 2011 Report Share Posted July 10, 2011 Hello fella's. My boy has wanted to get into shooting for a while now, but I've tried to wait until an age where I deem him to be responsible enough to use a weapon properly. At the Raby castle show today he used several rifles and shot very well for a first timer. So we were looking at the possibility of getting him a rifle for xmas. Seeing as I dont have a clue....what would be a good starter rifle for him? He's ten coming up? Thanks for any advice. Quote Link to post
secretagentmole 1,701 Posted July 10, 2011 Report Share Posted July 10, 2011 What was he shooting pcp or spring powered? Why not look at the rifles he was shooting so well? Quote Link to post
sneakysniper 1 Posted July 10, 2011 Report Share Posted July 10, 2011 Both my son and nephew use Gamo Delta's. They are great little rifles, compact and light. Quote Link to post
zini 1,939 Posted July 10, 2011 Report Share Posted July 10, 2011 Hi mate, Id seriously take a look at the Weihrauch HW25 model Weihrauch HW25 Weihrauchs smallest rifle makes an ideal first gun for the junior shooter. A 2-stage trigger, rifled barrel and adjustable sights all make this an accurate target practice rifle. This gun is not full power , producing about 5 ft/lbs but perfectly adequte for 15 metres. If you want the best for your junior , this is the gun. Weight 4.2lbs Length 37.5inches Si Quote Link to post
