Everyone knows what I'm going to say. 

Kral Puncher / Puncher Jumbo... Any Kral with a decent length barrel.

Yeah it will be a pisser 

But don't give up before you started. 

Have some fun whilst you can and kick up a stink with me. 

I've been told there maybe some alternatives coming, I've been emailing around like hell. 

Just buy a Kral and have some fun.. Don't get anything expensive

If you need rifle only, a GX40 for about £320. If you need full kit go for the MK2 Phox and get pump, scope, mod, bag,  pellets etc for around £500.

Gamo name but it's a BSA, made in Birmingham, 2 year warranty and cheaper than the Ultra XL which has the same gubbins inside.

I've had one for nearly 3 years, far better than the AA s200 it replaced. Not a pretty rifle but bloody accurate and so easy to work on if needed. All I've done is adjust power, replace a trigger screw, free float the barrel and drill the fill cover so I rotate rather than remove. For pest control it is superlative. Just for fun I have a plastic pigeon decoy at 120 yards across the field, on a still day I can hit that 4 out of 5 from my sofa. It will group within 25mm at 50 yards from a rest, I wish I had one 30 years ago when I was a good shot! I reckon a young bloke with a good eye using a Phox or GX could match any Daystate or FX shot for shot.

Cheers for replies guys. Didn't know about legislation changes, you cant have anything! Thanks for the recommendations I'll do a bit of research but wont go to town, as long as can sell on and get close to money back down the line. When I'm looking at specs whats a half decent shot count?

They pretty much the same rifle then? Other than you get the Phox as full kit.
