S200, Ultra springs to mind,

[Mach 1.5]

Or if after a Springer? HW30, HW99 or Remington Express compact. Mach 1.5

Springer or other? If springer, am I correct in thinking that you're looking for something easy to cock? How old is your niece, and does she need full power? If she's above 14, a full power HW99 would fit the bill but if power isn't an issue the HW30 is a little beauty, extremely accurate, even easier than a 99 to cock, and slightly shorter in length too.

Realy need more info. Rough age & preference for pcp or springer ?

[Targetman83]

What about a Brocock contour super six? These are super light and great little rifles

A springer or a PCP type,my niece is 12 so just something easier for her to use.

Cometa 100

As a few others have said. Buy this and it will last your niece a lifetime. I have number of them, old, new and synthetic stock varieties in both .22 and .177.

Built like a tank, fit and finish second to none, lightweight, easy to cock and fantastically accurate. All I would say is either yourself or the dealer needs to set up the scope, (which is not too shabby to be fair), to suit your nieces eye relief and also for attachment tightness, HW only loosely assemble the scope to the rifle .

Going to take her along to one of the gun shops at the weekend and see how some options will fit for her.

A small C02 like a rat catcher is good for kids, that or a QB78 from SMK (sorry if I got the model wrong, it's the one where you can put in 2 C02 bulbs facing opposite eachother for more shots)

Depending upon what she wants it for, I would say keep an eye out for a nice Falcon FN12 light Hunter, they dont come much lighter than that, either single shot or multishot if its for vermin control, Multi shots are prone to problems with indexing, but there are good aftermarket magazines available that negate the use of the problematic crown wheel arrangement.
