Pcp for 8yr old boy

[Hateful McNasty]

I think any sub $250 pcp would do and one that offers iron sights that he can use outside of a scope only gun.
Today there's several nice choices and being 8 he could loose interest fast like 8 year olds can and do .

or just give him yours as a hand me down and you buy yourself a new one..

Mrod or prod would be a good choice easy to get parts for them there reliable too

I would go for the Marauder.
It is affordable, dependable, well supported by a well established manufacturer with a good reputation, and loads of upgrades available for when that time comes, and it will come.

The Notos looks like it is going to be a good gun, but is too new for me to put a lot of trust in it.

Ya,right problem solved

Go with a classic like a Benjamin Discovery (iron sights or scoped), or the MRod with the synthetic stock is also a good option.

I have a 25cal gen 2 synrod and soon to have a gen 1 in 20cal. I will see if he can hold up my 25 tonight when he gets home. The Notos might be the way to go. I put a wtb out for a prod or woods walker just to check and see. I think he needs a shorter gun. I have him my ruger precision rimfire and with stock short he can shoot it but says it's heavy. Idk

Thanks

I sent you a message about the prod I am getting ready to sell.

 

[Hateful McNasty]

Somthing with synthetic stock would cut some weight as a option.

Hello,
My 8yr old son wants an air rifle to shoot with dad. I want a pcp since I have tanks and a compressor to fill it. Probably a 177 and a magazine with a good shot count. He will just be plinking and shooting targets. I don't want a huge gun for him and probably something with adjustable stock to grow with him. Price range up to 400. Any suggestions?

Thanks
Jon

brocock commander , has adjustable length of pull. he wont grow out of it , 100 shots per charge in .22 , very accurate , lightweight , super quiet with a small moderator ,

Little pricey if I was going to spend a lot I'd get "him"a m3 compact in 177. Lol

Well we looked at guns he held some of mine and decided he wanted the Notos. Thanks everyone

m3 doesnt have length of pull adjustment , so fitting goes to brocock, and a smaller gun

You wont do better than the umarex Notos. Turn the power down just a little and you’ll get plenty of shots.

Thats comming off as a fun gun lots are liking it. The accessories are cheap like iron sights , pistol grips, at $10. Clip 19$ ,ss tray $6

Now i assume the optional grips gets rid of the carbine bumb / mounting butt end ?

Anyway ill bet you both will have fun with it .

Enjoy

later you could modify it like this

300+ shot per fill, but you need a compressor or SCBA tank to fill it
