25 caliber air rifle

[dr.zorba]

hey gang!!


I just got off the phone with Tech force, an air rifle company in kentucky , and their tech told me they are trying to introduce a 20 and a 25 caliber pellet rifle , likely modeled after their break barrel model 87or 89 i think. he's talking around 800+ in the 25! not to shabby!!
If your unfamiliar with these guys their web address is at compasseco. they ship to canada must have a pal a few hoops to jump thru but not to bad. a great bunch to work with knowledgeable, patient and kind.
I'm not to sure on a production date as these are prototypes but a few inquiries from those interested may speed things up!!
Anyway thats all for my first post
happy hunting

p.s. I shoot a model 99 premier tech force 22 900+ fps

Believe it when you see it.A .25 springer doing 800fps I doubt it.The Webley monster Patriot couldn't do it.A PCP like a custom Condor yes.For a RWS 350 Chinese clone in .25 try BAM 28 avialable in Jan 2010 Stateside soon up North.Parts are interchangable with RWS/Diana 350 and quality is better than average .Airgun Source carries the .22 version now $225 the Bam 28 in .25 is advertised at 720 fps more realistic but not with heavy pellets like the Kodiak by Beeman....................JMO .....Harold ***avoid the Turkish guns like the Black Plague

...***avoid the Turkish guns like the Black Plague

I 've read bad reviews about the Turkish Patriots, unless you're lucky enough to find a transition one. These were assembled from English manufactured parts and assembled after the sale to Hatsan.
Eric Chapman first reviewed the Turkish Patriot based on a transition one, then had to add that many were reported substandard quality. KD

I believe those are actually a PCP based-up the QB series of Chinese rifles with a new high-pressure tube and valve.

The excellent part is that if you own a QB they can send you the bits to convert it to PCP. Unfortunately they are having issues with consistancy and shot string last I checked, not a whole lot of happy customers in the first production run.

The barrel on the B-28 is not interchangeable with the RWS 350 but the rest is including trigger.BAM made /makes? some parts for RWS/Diana though it's tough to get an admission from anyone.A polish /tune throw in a tophat and JM spring and you're in serious kill mode for pesting or ventilating tin cans.....................Harold

Yup you need power for a .25 to work well

I know that the .25 is the best round for hunting hands down. Ammo from 18 to 80 grains is available I find the 25.4 grain JSB Exacts to be the best value at 17.00 for 350 plus they buck the wind way better then any .22. I turned my Condor down to shoot them at 1018 fps for 25 nice shots more then enough when hunting I have 2nd tank and pump when I am away from my scuba tank.

Once you hunt with a .25 .22 is just a something you smirk at.

At reduced velocity in BAD wind:

Try using the biggums in one of those pretty overseas airguns:
