Women's air rifle...?

[CharDub]

A Diana 24 would be a good choice.
I would not put a scope on it.
The added weight will make it less shootable for you and your kids.
My three grew up shooting air rifles. They loved it!

Fill a box with rags, put a target on it, quick backstop.

I just bought a Weihrauch HW 90, it is heavy but the trigger and quality is amazing, no good for women or kids.

A friend has a Diana 45.....boy is it ever long and heavy, and also very hard to break the barrel fully...but I suppose that is required for power...!

Beeman QB Chief PCP would be one I'd consider. Very reminiscent of my Discovery. Low pressure, and easy to fill with a hand pump. Can get one of those with a Hill pump for about $600.

I goofed, the small Diana I have is a Mod 20 not 24, it weighs 5.4 lb. It is easy to c.ock.
