Very nice, I love the shape of the forend on them, lucky lad! Much easier to use than my first gun. I wish you well with it and good luck on his first trip out with it

Jesus. The lucky get. My first rifle was an absolute shed. In other news, one of the top 5 most accurate rifles I’ve shot was a Hornet. In fact, the manual multi shot jobby just like that one but the carbine. Far from standard mind. It would split a side on playing card at 35 paces 3 out of 5 times.

That  Hornet sounds excellent, who was shooting it ?   x

That looks spot on and one that he can grow with. You now of course will not be able to go for a quiet hour shooting as there will be a little follower behind you so enjoy it.

Same as foxdropper my first air rifle was a BSA meteor i was thinking about getting one now for my grandson. Do any of your airgun lads know if the meteor is made in a carbine version.

The meteor is a standard barrel with no carbine option and a shorter barrel would make cocking much harder for a youngster.  If I were you, I would buy a Weihrauch HW30 every day of the week, a vastly superior gun.

My first air gun at the age of 13 , shot it nearly every day until I found larger , cars and girls , all those three let me down , but the meteor is still with me after 47 years
