[QUOTE="ttown, post: 3974637, member: 2114"] I think it would depend on his age, size, and experience. What’s his price point? PCPs would be out for me due to cost of gun/pump easy to spend a grand here. To me a hunting rifle is a better youth choice. These can take down deer size game. A gun at Walmart may be his best choice IMO. Hard to beat a Gamo, Beeman, or Sheridan. I’d get .22 cal for the cost/benefit myself. Most of these guns are rated with light pellets, I shoot lead. You should be able to get a good one for $99 to $150. .22 cal should be rated around 900 fps. Here’s the two I own, these guns are as heavy as a real rifle and built that way as well, These guns will last a lifetime. The 48 is very easy to cock, the 34 is like any other break barrel, not bad but takes some effort. I also have .177 and a .22 cal from Walmart that are fine. The difference is quality and the triggers. The accuracy to me would be a comparison between a semiautomatic and a bolt. The real advantage to the .177 to me would be many brands let you shoot bbs as well for cheap plinking. my .02 [URL unfurl="true"]https://thegunzone.com/diana-rws-34-review/[/URL] [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.thebestairrifle.com/top-air-rifle-300-diana-rws-34-wt06-trigger/[/URL] The sidewinders are easy to cock.
