Default Best air rifle ????

I am looking for a air rifle for my 10 year old boy.
He already shoots regular rifles 7-08 / 243and has taken 4 deer in the last two years. .
I want a good quality, acurate and something with enough power to take rabits and squrils at close range.
I want to work with Him on His stalking skills. I think this help. Thanks

I would go with a rws or gamo in full size and top of the line scope that's rated for air rifles.

I'm skip the Gamo if you're looking for quality. The better RWS and Beemans will be much higher quality rifles. Avoid the the cheap Spanish guns that Beeman is now importing. Stick with the German made guns for quality. A Beeman R7 or R9 won't break the bank and are quality rifles.

I have 4 or 5 pellet rifles around, and here's another vote for RWS. My RWS 45 has been a "best buy" for me, and i like it so much i bought a second one, when i saw a nice used one forsale...

I have a couple RWS and I really like them. They can be a little big for a small kid since mine are actually longer and heavier than my regular rifles though.

RWS, no scope. Teach your son how to shoot open sights. The better ones come with target sights. Too many hunter's do not know how to shoot with open sights. Teach him the right way. Tom.

The sheridan's are really nice if you want a pump gun.
