    Newbie needing advice

    Hello i'm james .
    After a 30 year break from air rifles I dug out my old bsa airsporter due to an evergrowing magpie problem in the area. I could'nt believe what good condition it was in and still has good power .

    However, my eyes are'nt what they used to be and I cant get on with the telescopic sight. Also after useing a friends airarms s200 could not believe the difference in accuracy and comfort of use.The smallish size and lightwieght of the s200 enabled my young son to use it quite comfortably, whereas the bsa it too heavy/long for him and hes not the strength to cock it.
    So I'm planning on getting a new or nearly new 2nd hand s200.
    What do you people recon to the s200 ? Will it be a good tool for magpie shooting in a large garden ? or is there a better alternative riflle ?
    I want something I can just pick off the top of a shelf and shoot from a house window, without too much faffing about ,before the magpies fly off
