.177 or .22 - its been done to death. Makes no odds, each camp has its supporters. Do a search, get a drink and a packed lunch in and have a read

 

Do some more research on the rifles you are looking at. The difference between the 400 and 410 is single shot / 10 shot multi-shot. The single can't be converted to multi - choose wisely.

 

Best advice is go to your gun shop, shoulder them all, try them all, see which fits you and you get on with. Then try and find a club and see if you can try some or all of the ones you like.

 

Most of the premium brands of PCP will do the job, Daystate, HW, AA etc

If you have the money I would say go for a Daystate its alot of rifle and you gotta love those thumbhole stocks.

 

As for calibre choice, well I would suggest .22 as you are going to get more shots than the .177. The pro to the .177 is obviously a flatter trajectory which makes it favoured by the target shooters. It will still knock down rabbits but the .22 will, iin my opion, deliver a better transfer of energy, which makes it the better hunting round.

 

I agree with Pin when he says to check out a gun shop and local club. You will be able to try all sorts and see how they fit. This sort of thing is invaluable when choosing a new rifle.
