Guest WILF Posted July 12, 2007 Report Share Posted July 12, 2007 I would start him with a springer power rifle........you can pick up some really decent stuff s/hand....HW 99, Webleys, BSA or I think you can pick up a decent new gun for about the £200 mark............all the best Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Ditch_Shitter Posted July 13, 2007 Report Share Posted July 13, 2007 :rofl: Know what, " Billy Boy " ? I almost said how I would have apologised for bothering you with my offered input, if ye'd only explained to me either that ye wouldn't appreciate it in the first place. Or what I'd done to so alianate ye in the first place. Then I twigged! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jultaylor1972 2 Posted July 13, 2007 Report Share Posted July 13, 2007 I have to agree with Ditch on this one Ive just got the BSA XL Lightening and its brilliant!! I would definately recommend it for his xmas present. How old is he? Its very light, easy to handle and lovely to shoot with. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bill88 6 Posted July 13, 2007 Report Share Posted July 13, 2007 (edited) I have a webley exocet and an air arms s200 for sale mad if any of them will do? Let me know and i'll fill you in on whats in each set up and prices etc. Took the words out my mouth bobo.My daughter is 10 and she's been shooting an s200 for the last couple of years.Got her a ratcatcher to start,but there a wee bit underpowered for the bunneys. Id take Bobo up on his offer of the s200 madhunter,cracking wee gun and small and light enough for a young un. Edited July 13, 2007 by bill88 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
maty j 6 Posted July 13, 2007 Report Share Posted July 13, 2007 dont forget you'll need something to charge the s200 which itself isnt cheap. then scope + mounts it'll soon mount up over 200 unless youve allready got some spares that is. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
