You could also ask what Lewis has second-hand.
The warranty is unbeatable, too.

The R1 and the R9 are both in 20cal. Native Hunter and I have both used JSB and Beeman Crowmagums. I am of the opion mine is suited to the JSB, I'll leave Native Hunter for his own comment.
If $$$ are short have you looked at Lewis' used section. He looks after all his customers, not just those that buy new. I see there is an R10 there (if it hasn't been sold)

My .22 cal excaliber is way outside the $$ limits you might be considering +$2k when I brought it several years ago S/H.
At full noise the Excally will pump out 24+FPs which is 70m head shots on rabbits and easy 45m on foxes and cats. but it also goes through pigeons and the tin roofs behind at 8m inside large warehouses- Oppps
I have had Lewis detune the power of it down to about 18-19 FPE (strong springer or lower end gas ram) for getting more shots before having to refill from the scuba tank.
I can easily head shoot rabbits at 40 with this rifle. I have even dropped cats with it at close to 40 with head and another with a " low neck shot" at 35.
Everything of Lewis's is quality and the man is a marvel with after sales service and especially warrantee. I brught my AG S/H or maybe thrid Hand but Lewis said it was one he imported so it was covered by his life time warrantee. I asked if Leiws would allow the then owner to send it to him and he will look it over and as a pre-purchase inspection- before I would agree to the asking price- no problems was his quick reply.
another time I was heavy handed with fitting a magazine and broke something- MY FAULT and Lewis fixed it under Warr and had it back to me within 10 Days Melb to QLD.
Spend your $$ confidently with Lewis and what ever you buy can be used to teach your grand kids to shoot- if you look after it.
BUY THE BEST YOU CAN AFFORD FIRST UP- WITH AG'S IT'S BUY ONCE CRY ONCE IF YOU DO IT PROPERLY FIRST TIME ROUND.
I dont know what sort of $$ you have for a scope but consider one just from an ease of shot placement idea.
Lewis might be able to set you up with a peep setup if a scope is beyond the $$ ATM.
HTH and I hope you do get addicted to them like a lot of us here are- I'm just lacking funds to further that addiction--hhmmm.
I chose .22 cal because I like to shoot heavy- ag's powder burners, 12# but you might like to consider a .20 cal- almost the speed of a .177 but more FPE on target but not quite the trajectory loop of a .22.

Nice start ups- all back by the "Lewis" garrantee
I used either a D34 or D36 for a couple of years before stepping upto the Excally unkitted and it was great.
