Hello or you gun nuts out there.

I have ordered a RWS Diana model 34 air rifle in .22 cal for my son for christmas together with a quality scope. Any of you used one or heard good or bad reviews about these? The web site states that it will push a .22 pellet out at over 800fps and are suposed to be very acurate, I know there are more powerful pellet guns out there but this ones setting me back $700 AUS with scope.

My sons 14 and he regularly uses a .22 magnum for rabbits and foxes and although I have drummed firearm safety into him until it oozes out of his ears I wanted to let him walk the paddocks on his own knowing that he would be safe.(want him to know that I respect his maturity etc without rocking in a corner when he's out by himself)

Never had a air rifle and after your wise advice.
