    Want to Buy a .25

    Hey Camp, Also - what pellets do you recommend getting at first to shoot? Any particular cleaning ritual you found the barrel likes? Have you ever done a breakdown and rebuild (I read elsewhere that the Cricket is also one of the easiest higher end PCPs to breakdown and maintain) Thanks again!

    Want to Buy a .25

    Camp, Thanks for the pics and the info - you've got a beautiful collection. My Mauser M12 is 42'', so yeh, the .25 is a bit longer, but it's still not as long as the FX Royale. It's not going to be perfect, but it'll be similar enough. Maybe I'll get a new stock on it at some point, but for...

    Want to Buy a .25

    Hey Oldspook and Camp, I'm going with the Kalibrgun Cricket Carbine. I have a Mauser M12 as my primary "go to" hunting rifle, and I'm looking to match its size and weight as much as possible. I had a brief look today at the FX Royale, but it's a bit too long for my tastes. Honestly, I'm sure...

    Want to Buy a .25

    Quick question - anyone have an idea about what's going on with the stocks? The stores here still seem to have the skeleton stock, but I saw some mention that they were moving to standard stocks (which I think I'd prefer). Any know anything?

    Thanks for all the help guys. I'm going to be getting a Kalibrgun Cricket in .25 :)

    Btw - what's the noise like on that .25 Cricket Carbine? Could you compare it to anything?

    The nitrogen tank to a small tank is a fantastic idea. We work a lot with the local metal working shop, so I'm sure I can get it done. Thanks again!

    Camp - super nice set up. What is your tank setup like? Also - you mentioned your carbine in .25 shot 45fpe out of the box, did you get this increased or regulated down? Just want to get an idea of the potential of the rifle. I think I'm now in the market for a Cricket Carbine in .25 :) They're...

    Want to Buy a .25

    Glen - I'm willing to open up to that Cricket Carabine, but I dunno about those bullpups. It's not so much the looks as I'm afraid they'll handle quiet a bit different from my hunting rigs. The Cricket Carabine in .25 is a few ounces lighter and I think pretty much exactly the same weight as my...

    Want to Buy a .25

    This is why I was asking on here :) Great opinions, thanks everyone. You guys have expanded my air rifle search more in one day than I had alone in about 2 weeks. Anyways - currently looking at the FX Royale 300 in .25. FXs says it charges to 220bar (3200psi) and pushes 45ftlb, which would be...

    Want to Buy a .25

    So a scuba tank filled to like 3300PSI (230 bar) wouldn't work for air rifles over 40ftlbs? But a SCBA tank filled to 300bar (4350PSI) would? I was under the impression that at least for the Daystate Huntsman XL 230bars would be sufficient. Would this change if I started looking at an FX. Both...

    WCT - the fox at 50yds is actually just a hypothetical. While I have foxes on my card for this winter, I don't shoot foxes unless they are an actual nuisance. They remind me too much of dogs... There are other nuisance animals like weasels and pine martens that would be done at that range - the...

    Want to Buy a .25

    Yeh - to be clear - I'm not getting a 12ftlb rifle. I am in the market for something >40ftlbs @ .25. My thinking on this is that I want to be able to throw lead below the subsonic threshold with enough force to hit something good and dead at 50yds. Glen & Frank - the FX's look nice. I...

    Are pcp guns really quieter than rimfire?

    If you're shooting a semi-auto 22LR, you might want to watch these. My Marlin 60 wouldn't cycle either the CCI quiets or the Rem subsonics super well...

    Want to Buy a .25

    Thanks! You think basically any .25 will be decent to targets out to 100m and pests out to 50m?

    Want to Buy a .25

    Hey All, First post on the forum, not including the intro, but wanted to get some opinions from you guys out there. I'm looking to make my first PCP purchase. It will be used mostly for plinking and for hunting small critters up to maybe a fox. Ideally, I'd like to be able to hit targets...

    Welcome to AIRGUN NATION - please introduce yourself here!

    Hey I'm Peter. I'm a Tennessee transplant to Europe and was looking to sign up here to get some more opinions on air rifles and equipment. Hopefully, I'll be able to add something to the conversation from time to time as well.
