Is this rifle heavy for a 11 year old boy.

No its plenty light a front heavy gun but light. Gamo sells an air rifle sling I'd buy one for stalking hunts. Also a 3-9x32 scope would help this way he can grow with it. Warning I've killed coyotes with this thing.

Yes it is heavy even for an adult man after prolonged use, so is my ruger air hawklte

My 12 year old grandson handled it quite well. It takes some strength and good technique to break the barrel (cock & load). It would be fine for target practice, but carrying it hunting will probably get tiring.

yes it is heavy, I was surprised at the size and length of the rifle, its longer than my hunting rifles and may by difficult for an 11 year old to cock

Well, it weighs 8.75 LBS. A friend bought one for my 14 year old daughter after buying one for himself. He raved about how accurate it was. I found that to be true. Great gun for the money! I killed a Hugh coyote with the .22 cal barrel on. So, make sure if you get this for your son that you know and teach him that it could easily kill or badly hunt someone. It weighs 8.75 LBS. He might have to grow into it. They have youth rifles that are half the weight. Your call! Hope I was helpful.

I believe it would. I have no suggestions. The gun is smaller than a normal rifle, but seemed long for the boys.

Gun feels very heavy. I would say 10 to 15 lbs. My son is 12 and loves the gun, but did comment on how heavy it is.

Yes, I would not buy this gun if I were you unless you are a little kid. You have to cock every shot by pulling back the foregrip and it breaks easily

I care because I'm not interested in buying a nerf gun that's meant for an 8 or 12 year old for my 4-year old child. Answers like yours aren't very helpful.

Sandy, I would not recommend this bow for a 40 year old male. This is a light, 10-20# bow. My son is 11 yrs old, and he uses a 35# bow at his dad's house for hunting. I got this bow for him because it is a NASP approved bow--National Archery for the Schools Program. This is the only bow he can use to take archery in school. I would recommend a heavier bow for your son, especially if he intends to hunt with it.

My son carried it in his backpack last year and this year he doesn't need a backpack, so he uses the strap and carries is on his shoulder. He never complained about it being to heavy, he's 12 years old and about 96lbs. That might make a difference.

from what I have seen the weapon is as heavy as a real gun.. It is really made well. Yes, I do really feel that they are like exact models.

not awfully heavy. I have a 13 year old daughter and she has shot targets with us. It does have some weight to it, though, and it really isn't a toy at all. It can do some serious damage so beware!

I think it would be too heavy for a 12 year old. It is a challenge to reload as well.

Yes, a 12 yr old can definitely hold this weapon. He will probably struggle with the cocking mechanism when you do the "lock and load". It is hard to crank. This toy is a full size replica of the real M14 and looks really nice but very very fragile.

It is a very heavy crossbow and can be difficult to string and cock. If you are confident that your 12-year old can constantly hold a 15lb crossbow and load a 90lb draw (with the rope cocker), then it might be nice for him. Be safe.

Bought this for my wife and 3 year old grandson for there Zombie collection, a military 50 cal is what I use for MY ammo, it is heavier but much more durable. This one is lighter and can stand a use of a three yea told with no damage but it depends on what you want it for!

If not exact..pretty darn close. Not a child's rifle, too long. Stock is very plasticey. Works well and quite accurate. Also check out the umarex line of dual cartridge guns.

Without weighting it I would say yes. It is not very heavy. It has been used with no problem with calibers up to .308.

I don't think there would be a problem with an average 15 year old to cock it. Nice gun, just a little heavy and made for a taller person. I am 5'8" and it is a bit long for me. I still use it and is very accurate.

Not too bad, I ordered it for my 17 year old. We had a single break bb gun that was harder but also had a really powerful shot.
