They can be a good light weight rifle .
I got given one by and old workmate and it had been lying in a damp shed for a year or so . it was covered in rust .
I stripped it and bead blasted the parts except the grip frame and sent the lot including a hawke red dot to a member on here for his kids .
He no longer posts so im not sure what he did with it in the end .
Co2 can be expensive ?? Why not have a small springer at about 6ftb ?? They use that sort of power in rifles for things like bell target shooting in pubs. My guess that a suitable rifle with a spring giving very low power would possibly easy enough to cock. Maybe a de tuned HW35 ?? those are opened with a catch
