loopy bunny blaster Posted September 20, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2018 i think most people go .25 now but i wanted to be able to turn down to 12 and shoot a light pellet around sheds whilst still be able to turn it up to shoot squirrels, was wondering what the range of power was like out of the box without breaking out allen keys which i wouldnt be comfortble doing myself, most of the stuff i can find on youtube relates to the .25 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultrastu Posted September 21, 2018 Report Share Posted September 21, 2018 The thing with power adjustable airguns is .that in reality we dont ever adjust them from full power . Not because we couldnt use a lower power gun .but because there is always a lot of rezeroing to be done for different energy levels and it becomes a head ache when really we just want to shoot it .its better to just have a high power gun and a low one .much easier .

loopy bunny blaster Posted September 21, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2018 i have 2 177 non fac daystates already thats why i was thinking of a crown or maybe an impact to cover the other end of the spectrum with the option of turning down abit if needed , what would you recomend as a .22 fac airgun for general pest control stu ?

Ultrastu Posted September 21, 2018 Report Share Posted September 21, 2018 Now that depends on a . What guns you already have (how they are used ) and hiw the fac.22 air would fit between the others . And b. What you intend to shoot with it ? So for me i have a .25 cal at 45 fpe .which can push 90 yd shots. So i dont need my .22 to reach that far or that power .. so my .22 runs a light pellet at 23 fpe. For shots out to around 65 /70 yds max but mainly for elevated bird or squirrel shots .so to that end i didnt need a large air bottle on gun or high power .so my .22 is a bsa ultra . Perfect for hide shooting and woods walking .. If my .22 fac air was my only fac then i might want more energy and shots . But my .25 has that covered and then some . Dont be fooled into thinking you NEED a large bottled gun .thats 10 ft long . And if you can kill a rabbit with a 5 fpe gun then there is no difference as far as the rabbit is concerened between say 23 and 30 fpe. . If they both have the same trajectory and accuracy id rather do the job with less energy not. more . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultrastu Posted September 21, 2018 Report Share Posted September 21, 2018 Why not get a .22 at 30 fpe And then upgrade one of your .177 daystates to 16 fpe That way you have covered a lot of senarios . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loopy bunny blaster Posted September 21, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2018 will be used for corvids rabbits and squirrels , general farm pest control i didnt think there would be as much advantage to an fac .177 ? current guns are a wolverine 2 and a regal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

figgy Posted September 23, 2018 Report Share Posted September 23, 2018 You could get a ballistic turret scope that you can adjust for zero for your different power levels, Personally id use different guns for each job, much easier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I can turn it down on the wheel to about 17 ft/lbs , about 805 fps which would be the same as my HW100k .177 sub12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
