    You'd be right if you're talking about springers.

    A proper PCP is a world different. Rabbits are dead meat at 80yds with my Daystate Airwolf but then we're not talking cheap guns. Knocked over five young maggies the other day in about 40secs off our balcony, the closest maybe 40yds and the furthest possibly 70yds. A ten-shot repeater is good
