I was thinking the same thing. I’ve not used 22 air rifle myself but mostly I only used them as a kid. I’ve got a cheap one for pigeon but it’s low powered so as not to hole the aluminium roof on the shed. It’s a piece of shit.
He needs to kill everything he aims at, probably out to 50yds and it needs to be reliable.
NV would possibly be an option as well although he needs to get back to me with a budget.
