My favorite gun growing up was an open-sight bolt action .22.

The Gamo air rifle, with scope and producing 1,250 fps seems like a good compromise of what you describe while having a pellet that will not fly as far on those 4-acres. I'm also likely to get the Gamo pellet handgun currently on sale at Cabela's for $69...includes the blowback feature, should be fun, and I can teach proper gun safety and technique without a big recoil.

I do see a .22 in our future, but maybe next go-round. He visits annually, and I have two toddler grandsons that will grow into it.
