    Vist your local friendly airgun club.

    There you will not only be able to handle the guns but in my personal experience the club members are more than willing to let you have a go with them. Far better that the 5m range that most guns shops have (if your lucky). Listen to their experiences, after all they have bought and lived with the gun and you never know there may be something of interest on the club notice board.

    Gun shop

    I don't know your daughter, but surely the deciding factor is not going to be fit. Accuracy, or weight, but the fact that it's PINK!
    When I die don't let my wife sell my guns for what she thinks I gave for them!!!

    If you are looking for large

    Have a day trip to Blackpool and visit BAR, Blackpool air rifles, I phoned ahead and they had both my choices in and I was able to handle both and also looked at their range of used, mainly pre charged though.
    I was able to handle both guns with no pressure, and finally choose a HW 97kt. Very friendly and helpful staff. HTH David

    Because the A377 Exeter to Blue Fox is closed I'll PM you a short cut rather than use the long diversion, if you decide to visit them.

    Might be worth checking websites for opening times as my old RFD used to close Mondays.

    It's a pity you missed it as the Northern Shooting show would have been perfect for you both..
    All the big boys were there with all their toys too.... Air Arms even brought their back catalogue too

    I dont suppose there is something like a Southern shooting show or similar event soon that the OP could visit with his daughter?
