First question everyone is going to ask you - what are your intending to do with it? Seeing your using £'s for your budget, are you looking at FAC models?

Amén, you've shops over there that have great bundle deals as well- places where you can handle the rifle (huge benefit!) , possibly get service post sales and insight on what is not only competitive for your price point, but as L3wis mentioned, built for your local weather.
You're looking to spend a bit o coin, be nice to get that magic rifle that makes you smile everytime. Good luck, let us know what you select!

Air Arms should be near the top if not at the top of your list in my humble--and American--opinion, for lots of reasons, including those articulated by Oakhonor.

I would add the RTI Prophet or Prophet II to the list. Also recommend handling any of them that you are interested in.

I like traditional type rifles with walnut stocks, like the Weihrauch HW100 and Air Arms 510, both of those appear to be popular "over there". Great quality accurate rifles.

The sub 12 BSA CLX Ultra would be the perfect pest rifle in your situation, I would think. You get the new and improved block in a short, light weight carbine, plus it's a BSA.
