Weather or not this is true well ile found out soon lol any ways there free so I can't moan there get me out for now I'm gonna grab a little set of sights next week from my local shop and a universal silencer get a bit of practice in before I fork out 5-600 quid on a pcp

hi buddy

 

welcome back

 

the smk db4 wont take rabbits unless 15 yards away.

 

they are around 8fb of power so good for plinking and targets.

From my experiance all full power air rifles can take u.k quarry as long as you can shoot them properly, the cheaper ones also, altho you may find to acheve consistant accuracy you may just have to get a little closer than you would with a pricey one, practace on paper an find out the max range you can achive a 25mm group this should tell you at what range you and your rifle are capable of making clean kills

Im sure others will also have advice on this.

Happy hunting mate.

If what hunter says Is correct and this rifle is not full power you will struggle to make clean kills in most situations.

You wont have to save the earth, you can get quality pcp's second hand around the £300 - £400 mark.

Air arms s400, s410, s200

Bsa ultra theres loads, also some word class springers out there for around the same price but it sounds like you have ruled it out.
