7 pound is fairly average for a springer. Remember the greater the weight the lower the recoil.
Welcome, I am a newbie too!
I'm 5ft 6ins and 9.5 stone. I can shoulder my HW80 and HW35 both at the same time no problem.....
But I can't group my target very well....
more importantly what is your budget and what kind of shooting do you plan to do with it.
rabbit hunting budget about £200 thinking gammo hunter 440 & scope
cheers
