Spurt Posted December 22, 2023 Report Share Posted December 22, 2023 I've just got slots for .22 and/or .25 air rifle on my FAC. I want something short and light (Bullpup??) for use indoors on rats at sub 12ft/lbs then as quickly and easily as possible, be able to up the power to 30 or 40 ft/lbs for longer range rabbits outside. My question is what bullpup is most easily changed from low to high power and back again with the minimal of fussing with regulators, valves, hammer springs etc? Thanks in advance for any help or advice on this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old man Posted December 22, 2023 Report Share Posted December 22, 2023 An Air Arms S410 Xtra would be capable of that 12 to 30 ftlbs? The lower end could be chrono'd to confirm? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarecrow243 Posted December 22, 2023 Report Share Posted December 22, 2023 only gun i can think of is the gunpower stealth in .22 or .25 as its power adjust has more adjustment my .25 when i had it at full power was 34.5 ft 1lbs lowest setting was 8 ft1lbs if i remember i now have it set at 44.5 ft1lbs but have not tested the lowest setting as i now have a regulator on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave-G Posted December 23, 2023 Report Share Posted December 23, 2023 (edited) I've just bumped my .22 FAC BTAS FX CYCLONE carbine for sale. It has a lever at the left side of the action that has three power settings, the lower is about 16 FTlb, middle about 18 and top power selection just over 26FTlb. It is seriously lightweight and has a shot count of forty while still on the regulator before dropping down, Anyone needing more shots than that on an outing is dreaming of a white Xmas reoccurring. I'm visiting family Dec 24/25/26 and don't do online wi my - mobile so be patient if you want a reply - or respond today up to midnight. You have not disclosed your whereabouts.

scarecrow243 Posted December 29, 2023 Report Share Posted December 29, 2023 no point in having an air rifle in the uk with a very big bore as you cant shoot any thing but targets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scarecrow243 Posted December 29, 2023 Report Share Posted December 29, 2023 because the law does not allow using air rifles to shoot deer no matter what calibre or power it is and they would not grant you a certificate for a 50 calibre air rifle to shoot rabbits Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldypigeonpopper Posted December 30, 2023 Report Share Posted December 30, 2023 hello, there are not many FAC air rifles in 25 with adjustable pressure, more in 22, you can get a FX Verminator with adjustable power maybe in FAC ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really it was only the 22nd of December, and others will likely click on the thread looking for similar info. The chap could well come back, or has looked without logging in. My answer would be he'd be better off with two rifles, something smaller for the rats then something geared up for FAC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you read the part l quoted you would see l was answering the previous post about it being my 95 th post in 20 years and not the original question.As an answer to the original question ld personaly forget FAC air and get a RF,keeping the sub 12 for when it's needed. 6 minutes ago, bigtone said: Edited January 6 by bigtone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
