Vote: .20 cal Air Ranger Vs .30 cal RAW for squirrel tournament

I say go with the 30cal it hits harder and fun to hear it hit squirrels 

Brian go 30cal.you can double your count when you pick up the pieces (lol).
​by the way, what is that wrapping I see on the barrel of the raw below the scope? have a great time

50 ft/lbs. of energy? Good Lord. That's the one I would go with.

is it a walk and stalk ?how do they compare # wise ? accuracy ? im a RAW owner and fanatic ,but if the a big weight difference that would be key ,,,i see the daystate has a heavy bottle ,,what about sound .2 cals 2 level of pop expecred ,,,well if they compare the same ,,,i take the RAW and knock out power ,,chances are there will be no wounded rodents when your done,, let us no what and why you choose ,,,pat

ps the raw what do u have on the schroud looks like a elastic ?

Let the .20 come out and play. 

Well, as my Dad always said about auto engines “there’s no substitute for cubic inches”. The same goes for air guns. Take the RAW. 

My top consideration would be shot count in this scenario,,,were talking squirrels here so its not like you need a 50ft lb gun to get the job done.Id imagine you would not worry about having to fill the gun if you went with the .20 but may have to lug more gear if you brought the .30.Most squirrel hunting shots are easily within 50 yds so its not like you need a long range rifle.My choice would be the .20 between these 2 rifles. I would definitely have a bullpup or semibullpup in my arsenal in .22 or .25 for these kind of hunting situations,just sooo much easier to handle than the 45" OAL of these particular rifles.

Yea i would carry the cricket and make your partner lug the longer beast,,,,,especially since your letting him use it.Goodluck and have a great time!

Daystate all the way.

Owning a .30 RAW myself, I gotta go with the RAW. A couple reasons: 
1) Working range for squirrels is at least 100 yards. Your scope will handle that so you have a much larger zone than the .20 would.
2) While a practical toss-up to 50 yards, the RAW maintains that accuracy (minute of squirrel) with more than enough energy for at least double that.
3) What could be a wound for the .20 would more likely be a kill for the .30 caliber.

If you go with the .20, you have this going for you:
1) If you lose, you can blame it on the gun.
2) You can bang it up without shedding any tears.
3) Nobody is going to ask to take any test shots with it.

Cannot confirm or deny my agreement or disagreement with your statement at this time. Btw, I was staring at your ad for the Cricket the other day and almost did something impulsive..

Forget the “vote”. The Eun Jin’s need to fly!!

I’ve been starring at the .25 AirRanger ad in the Classifieds. That’s a nice hunter. Sad to see the Cricket go but I’ve got the .30 R5 Matador coming. 

You’ve had the .20 for a years and it needs the action bro. We both know it’s more than capable too. 

Simple. Walnut. The tree rats will be so engrossed looking at that pretty rifle, they will forget to duck!

Between those 2, my vote goes to the .20
You used the Raw on your last one (no?) Using the 20 says “it’s the shooter, not the gun”
