Wildcat mk1 or brocock bantam .25

Both are nice guns but the Wildcat in .25 will give you more power than the Bantam. The Bantam's shorter barrel limits the power to about 35 fpe.

I have the Bantam .25 and it’s a great rifle. My primary use for it is dispatching pesty rodents and rabbits. It does a good job of this.
That said, I have been looking at the Wildcat .25 and find that it offers significantly more power. It may be more accurate, as well as quieter. I like to be as humane as possible when pesting, so the Wildcat is especially attractive being harder hitting and possibly more accurate.
There is a fair bit of price difference between a Bantam and a Wildcat MkII, however. If the extra money does not present a problem at all, and the purpose is hunting/pest control, I would go Wildcat .25. Otherwise, the Bantam .25 is a very nice and plenty capable option with money saving!
