    Lightweight pcp

    Is there anything lighter than the s200 available? I'm looking at getting my son involved with shooting, trouble being he is quite a dainty little thing. Rifle only, definitely not interested in pistols.

    Cheers

    Falcon FN12 lighthunter is around 1lb lighter at 4.75 lb IIRC

    Nice solid rifle to learn on if you can find one that hasn't been 'tinkered' with as they were a bit notorious for being adjusted to run hot!!

    Nicest lightweight PCP I have ever seen is the Daystate LR90 Carbine with a skeleton stock. Unbelievably accurate and reliable

    Bullpups have their weight further back and are less of a strain on the left arm for standing shots. Shorter too.

    LR90 Carbine? I'm guessing that would be an aftermarket custom job, from Stalker or B&M etc...?

    Light and compact

    I would go for a Brocock Contour single shot in .177 and the Walnut stock, the downside only 25 max shots
    per fill .

    I have owned one from new and I like it .

    Many thanks guys, a few to have a look at. All seem to fit the bill which may be an issue as he's only having one!

    Now to find a suitable scope... I'll wait 'till we decide on the rifle before starting another thread

    Thanks

    Rather than the usual (expensive) suspects have a look at the SMK PR900W.
    Really light and with open sights.
    Single and multi shot.
    Under £250 new.

    If your lad doesn't take to shooting its a great fun gun for older shooters.

    I like mine and would have been over the moon with it when I was a teenager.
    Been reliable for a year now too!

    The SMK Victory PR900W light, trigger can be adjusted and works well not expensive , the only downfall is that you need to fill them after 30 shots but they can be fill easy with a pump. I have tested a number in .22cal they have been set at 11.5ft lbs after about 30 shoots then the power drops dramatic every shoot after , i then used a pump to refill and i found it only took 25 pumps to get it to the fill pressure
