    As has been suggested, you get what you pay for and quality is never cheap. Scored two small bunnies today at 40yds with head shots and it was instant lights out with the 40ft-lb Airwolf.. That however would be well outside many people's budget, ignoring the fact you need a std firearms licence to own one.

    My old BSA .177 Supersport springer is still going strong and one very unlucky starling bit the dust at 43yds the other day holding over. In reality, this rifle lives in the garage to deal with pesky swallows that annoy us this time of year. Most shots are under 20yds, normally 10-15. I have shot a few rabbits with it over the years but never over 30yds, most closer. The PCP is on a different planet, with anything under 80yds being in -serious- trouble if I have a rest and the cheap rangefinder handy.
