That’s exactly what I was going to recommend, that, and some 7.33gr pellets. He could learn all about HW’s and the trigger before moving up to the HW80.I suggest an HW30 / R7. He will never out grow it. Heirloom quality and accurate to a fault with an incredible trigger.
25 yards I'd be happy with them resultsI'm revising my opinion. After I thoroughly cleaned the barrel it's shooting pretty good. These are 25 yards standing and shooting off a Calswell Fielspod. One group is Crosman HP and the other is H&N FTTs. I pulled one shot with the FTTs.View attachment 410393
