DD £500 buys a lot of options.

Calibre in sub 12 ft/lbs - .177 by a country mile ! (for me).

 

Pcp means another £200 for bottle etc.

Or springer, new if you wish, Air Arms, HW, best options - AA Pro Sport, T Rex 200 HC (awesome) or any HW

Ok cheers mark thanks for your input mate don't really want a spring gun would rather pcp so bottle not problem like what you think of a rapid mate

If you are buying new then you need to allow about £800-£1000 for compleat set up on a PCP

You can get some good deals on second hand stuff

.177 for a PCP , have a look at BSA Ultra , r10, AA s410 and HW 100

you can get all sorts of recommendations from here about what people use and suits them, may not suit you, find a club or an enthusiast near you and ask if you can go on a shoot with them and see what fits you, when it comes to a pcp set up £500 does not go as far as you think unless you go second hand, fill in your location even if its only county and there may be someone close who can help you out far better than most shops who are only looking for a sale

Welcome to the Forum here

For £500 you'll get a superb spring rifle that'll do all you want and more. You won't get much in the way of a PCP for that amouint unless you go second hand.

The best thing to do is like Neil says and visit a club and have a chat with the members and see what they are using. They'll let you have a shot or two and tell you all you need to know for now.

If you see a rifle or two you like the look of and want to know more about it, just ask here.

Shoulder a BSA Ulra SE and try to shoot one, hell of a good pcp.

Save a tad more DD and your there.

 

 

Good luck with your choices.
