she has outgrown her Daisy BB gun. I"d like to keep it under $100 if possible? are any of the scope packages worth a hoot? Thanks.
I need a pellet rifle. .177 that my 12 yo daughter can cock without much trouble
- Thread starter Kevht
- Start date
I would suggest the venerable HW30. Way above your price point but an heirloom quality rifle that she can give to her daughter.
I have seen one of these in person and they seemed like a decent shooter for a child for $100.

If you want a cheap refurbished one then try this and buy a scope for it. https://hatsanairgunsusa.com/product/_refurbished-airtact/

If it doesn't have to be a springer, I'd look at the new Crosman pumper. https://www.crosman.com/product/crosman-362

I would up my budget quite a bit and go with an HW30, or slightly better an HW35, It's a little more powerful, a little heavier, and has a manual barrel latch which if properly used is said never to wear out, although I have my doubts about that, not that I will every wear mine out. For the extra money over your budget you will get her a better trigger, and a much prettier gun that will last a lifetime, vs a $100 throwaway gun.I would suggest the venerable HW30.

Get an XS12. In fact, there's one in the classifieds right now. Same power and cocking force as a HW30, but you won't be upset if it gets damaged.

After a little thought...
The current Daisy 880 is affordable will accept a cheap scope and is very easy to pump. (And it's really cool that you have a daughter that wants to shoot and you back her up on it.) The current Crosman BB guns are not well made...

Don't get me wrong as I really love the HW 35, but it's a big ol' heavy gun! It's over 8 pounds (HW 30 is about 6), longer, fatter (35mm vs 30mm receiver tube outside diameter), and significantly harder to cock than the HW 30. IMHO quite a load for the average 12-year-old girl to carry and shoot comfortably, even if she can cock it.
If you don't mind hunting around for an nice older used gun: an old HW 30 with the slender finger-groove stock, a Diana model 25 or 27, (or newer model 24), or a BSA Meteor are other great youth rifles.

If you can find a nice used HW30 or R7 that would definitely be the way to go. If you decide on a new HW30, Krale is probably the least expensive.

Yes, even with shipping, probably around $40 to the us. And I rather think if you get an order in mid day their time, western Europe, you should have it in about 3 days. The better US dealers are much slower, if in stock about ten days.
A Daisy 35 is half your budget, accuracy with BBs is much better than a Red Ryder, power is variable and it's a solid little gun. I'm 53 and I have 2 of them and a 3rd one on order.

I would definitely consider a Slavia 618

Shooting a Slavia 618
The Slavia 618 is a classic and was made for many years. Many where imported to the US in the late 60's to the 70's. They are not particularly rare but collectible. They are well-made, sturdy, and great shooters. Try to find a junior-sized air rifles of this quality these days, unfortunately...

Gamo Varmint. Around 90 $ on Amazon. My grandson loves his and has no problem cocking it. He is 12. Great starter for a kid that has outgrown BB

Unless you just don't have the $$$, you can get a HW30S shipped to your door for $300. If for whatever reason, you stop shooting it, you likely can sell it for $200 and only be out $100. Heirloom quality, whereas any cheaper gun for $100 will likely brake and be tossed as junk in 5 years.
-My suspicion, is you're more likely buy another Weihrauch after shooting it.
