       Which one

       My Dad wants a PCP for shooting bunnies in his garden only   max
       range 30-50 yards. He fancies either a Weihrauch HW 100 in .22
       or a Daystate Huntsman classic both with  a moderator.He wants
       to buy a new one but might be persuaded to buy SH if any
       available localy in NI He only has a blackpowder shotgun as he
       gave me his .22 BRNO years ago. would it take long to get added
       (he's in his 70's)or should I get it and give it to him on loan?
       Might take a .177 if available too.
       Any thoughts welcome. Probably shooting from a table with a rest

       I'd go for the Daystate without question. I know Weihrauch make
       excellent air rifles, but Daystate make better PCP's. I was
       considering a HW100 for a while there, but the stupidly long
       barrel of the 'FAC version' annoyed me the more I thought about
       it. Applying for it yourself and having it on loan would be
       grand, but personally I think he should apply for it himself.
       .22 obviously hits harder, but at short ranges a .177 would take
       a lot of guess work out of shots. The only thing about .177 is
       you really wouldn't wantto push the power past 14 ft/lbs, as
       most .177 pellets wouldn't have enough mass to remain stable
       during flight.
