Thread: Air rifle advice

Some good advice here. I'm thinking of a similar purchase, but it's because the area is becoming more built up so .22 not really an option for long. Got an under barrel lever cocking .177 off a mate, but it is neither accurate nor powerful. OK to 20m. I'm thinking PCP but still want to make sure it's relatively safe, no ricochet risk, ideally has magazine as there are a few rabbits about. Would .22 PCP at 800fps be the medicine out to 40m? Are PCP's OK for normal rifle scopes, don't have to be airgun rated?
