I had a HW100 in 177. Little laser beam. Sold it and got an AirArms S510 (FAC). Currently got a sub 12 Snowpeak P35 with a reflex red dot sight which I just use for feral pigeons in and around farm buildings.
Not a lot of difference between sub 12 PCPs in terms of accuracy. Most are good enough for rabbits out to about 30-40 yds so no point in lashing out £££s on a flashy FX if you are using it just for hunting.
I paid about £750 for a new HW100 about 5 years ago but I see they are now around the £1k mark and you need to add £150-£200 to that for an air bottle.

wolverine mk 1. PCP does the job nicely

very accurate, quiet and nice to shoot in 177 cal

hole on hole at 35 yds

out with it tonight on rats prior to a change of rifles on foxes

Ripley Rifles custom build PCP in 22

(Actually belongs to @Mouse, but as she's away shooting deer for a living I might as well be making use of it....!).

 

[beebuzz]

I have a Gamo Phox In .177. Very good value and pleasingly accurate!

 

[Uncas]

BSA R 10 177 just amazing.

 

[Bigboab29]

Daystate platinum 177, hw99 177, rapid 7 22 and falcon light hunter 22. They very rarely see the light of day. Rapid is an original mk1 in tyrolen stock from 1995 and I just got a Simmons wtc to top it off

Weihrauch Hw97k hasn't let me down for the last 15 years!
Recently bought a pcp but 2 weeks later its sold, brilliant gun but not my cup of tea after using a springer for so long.

 

[Squirrelbasher]

PCP
HW100KS .177
Brocock Contour .22
Gas Ram
Theoben Sirocco H.E Carbine .20
Sringers
Can’t be bothered to list them all…
HW100 is my most used 12ft lb rifle for vermin shooting.

 

[enfieldspares]

BSA Scorpion T-10 in .177. Regulated by RatWorks to give 11.50ft/lbs and the only pellet I use is the heavy for calibre Bisley Magnum.

yep. my brothers got one, heavy but it’s bang on accurate in 22 cal, best springer out there

FWIW and IMHO any and all .177 sub 12ft/lbs benefit greatly from being fitted with a regulator and work best with "heavy for calibre" pellets. Any and all .22 sub 12ft/lbs don't need to be fitted with a regulator and work best with "standard" weight pellets.

My trusty HW80

Not sure what all that means at the start
But I love JSB Heavy in .177 and JSB Hades in .22

weihrauch hw 97k in .20, best air rifle i've ever owned, clover leaf groups at 30 yrds, equally if not more accurate as my .22 hw100 which will be shortly up for sale as i just don't use it anymore
