Yes i have 3 x .177 cal 6 x .22 cal 1 x .25 cal.

The .25 cal is a Hatsan Striker 1000s wooden stock i give £100 for it brand new i put a £30 scope on it and a £20 Silencer so all in £150 sorted and good fun.

I use the .25 cal on Rats in Barns and pig pen`s it hits like a sledgehammer a right old pop.

I use Marksman 21 grain pellets and Ram Point 27 grain pellets.

I only use it out to 30 yds has pellet drop is bad beyond 35 yds.

But at close range the .25 cal has devour-stating impact power

My gun is doing 11.9 ftlb with the 27 grain pellets.

But the .25 cal are a lot slower getting to your target.

I have had Rats move just before impact and do one like they see the pellet coming.

I do use Night Vision on a .22 PCP most of the time but the .25 cal at close range is good fun.

I had a BSA magnum when I was a kid and did ok with it and Milbro Rhino's.....I remember digging pellets out of rabbits and squirls to use them again!

 

I seem to remember it not to bad to 40yds or so.

I had a BSA Super Sport .25 and hated it. Even used BSA Pylarm ammo through it and it was still pretty much unaccurate along with any other ammo at the time. But that was about 15yrs or more ago back and ammo may be better.

But i will always say .25 cal is more for the FAC airgunners as the higher power is a lot better suited for an heavy weight pellet. But this i my opinion mind you.

i had a theoben eliminator a few years back,awful gun to shoot took me weeks to get used to it but when i did it grouped realy well.even doing 30 ft/lbs it was like throwing half a house brick hit like one too,but sold it within the year twenty shots and i'd had it elbow and shoulder joints would start screaming and i'm no weedy weekling.but if thats what you fancy why not buying guns is fun

Got a hatsan striker .25 and its very good for the money. Shot loads of crows with it.

I got me one of them too and after a little trigger work I am mighty impressed. For a cheap springer its brilliant.
