The ones I have seen say 150 bar (2100psi) and that's what I would suggest, I had mine at one time up to 3000 psi it shot hard on both ends and I don't know how long the gun would have taken it and for all the extra cocking force and strain on the gun didn't gain much. If this is the path you go...

Hpa it's what's for dinner!!!

As someone who has rebuilt the gas ram quite a few times, my first advice would be to stick with the coil spring! The gas rams can be rebuilt some have pressure release and some don't. I would definitely try to find one with the relief valve. About 2000psi is where I put mine and that is a tad...

I have a spring version from 15 years or so ago, it has been a nice rifle and even survived being in a flood for two weeks! With just cleaning up and oil. Wish I knew it would be a collectors item! Lol I cut the stock down and painted it for my son, the only gripe besides the fiber optic sights...

Bannerman's castle of the middle ages! My face would be on milk carton after the trip there! Lol

I had thought about that after I posted it, I was thinking though my brain again! Lol. I cast most of my projectiles and didn't think of cost or availability not being for everyone, heck! I don't shoot anything much if I have to buy for it.

I bought a Benjamin prowler form box world a few years back on sale for 64 something or other. The scope was junk but it's been a decent gun.

I am in southeast Nebraska and have seen the opposite where I live though it is fox squirrel, I have not been able to get down to the Missouri river where the gray squirrels are. I am assuming you are talking gray.

I would like to be able to offer suggestions but!!? I am curious what others have as I have kind of a similar ordeal! I shoot at night due to my yard being in the middle of a small village, I shoot at little pill bottles and have a hard time finding the cross hairs and the Ir reticle drowns out...

I shoot both of them in a 22 Benjamin prowler and notice better accuracy with the domes especially at longer range but they both shoot well.

I Yeah.25 is for everyone because of having to order it! Lol the ones I have had were decent I just shot out of the box till I had to tinker, smoothing burrs, cleaning up In my experience! I would do something with a coil spring instead of a gas ram if it's going to sit, the seals dry out in...

What a waste!! Someone could have done something with that! I have a feeling that more than one of us would have gotten some kind of visit for posting something like this!!! Lol

In the price range I would say a Hatsan break barrel of some kind, I have had two Hatsan and am happy with them! but sounds like It can be a lottery on getting a good one. They have a .25 cal for around a hundred and I don't think most of the cheaper ones come in that. I have a Hatsan 130qe and...

.177 for feathers and .22 for fur is a general wisdom I find! I personally err on the heavy side.
