[QUOTE="Reelamin, post: 2354573, member: 42157"] All kids need a Red Ryder to start just like they should start with Hoppes #9. I have most of the basic stuff from the small Daisy plastic stock, Red Ryder, Pump Up, Break Action, etc., and a PCP. Several different brands.....tough one for sure. I have my grandfathers tiny plastic daisy from the late 70's in the dining room corner for encouraging neighbor dogs to leave faster. Perfect for that....my PCP would kill them even with a chest shot. In your situation it would be a Red Ryder style for sure. Then skip the pump up and go to a break action in 22 cal. Generally the 22 is more accurate than the .177 without crazy cost increase for pellets. Accuracy issues mainly due to velocity, and in your price range should be some decent ones. SKIP THE 1200-1500FPS advertised junk and you want a heavier pellet around 8-900 fps. Also, make sure you shoot it and get to listen to how loud it is. My PCP (mid level Benjamin Marauder) in 22 will shoot 5 shot groups well under .5" at 50 yards all day long with $10/500 14.3 gr Crosman Pellets I can get off Amazon or Wal Mart. Blow up as in feathers floating like a shotgun kills Doves at 75yards and is quieter than the Red Ryder. Bolt action magazine/single shot fed. Furthest kill is a Crow at 110yds stone dead one shot chest shot, and rabbits/squirrels body shots to 75yards but not the best.
