I read somewhere that a 177 Huben was available. What’s up with that? Custom mag? Custom barrel? I’m thinking of buying a Huben and for the life of me can’t decide which caliber to get. Any wisdom and/ or advice?
177 HUBEN

Just for fun; What would you guys consider your most *fun* airgun?
My brocock atomic xr. Just a fun little gun. Same here my Atomic XR is just plain fun to shoot. And I'm just simply loving the size and its capabilities... Definitely an eye opener for me.

i really like my .22! it goes from 18gr to 34gr with 3-4 clicks of the power wheel. At a medium weight of 25gr, it still gets 3 mags on a 4500 fill.
32fpe to 70fpe is the right range for what i wanted in mine, i feel like .177 would hold a lot of this platforms potential back.

I hear ya. I’m leaning toward the 22. It seems like heck off all my boxes. What I REALLY want is the fun factor of the semi auto.

I own 3 Hubens absolutely LOVE them. I cannot get myself to go back to a cock lever rifle. All of mine are .22cal. and all of them have their place. I mainly hunt squirrels, crows, and pest birds. Semi auto is awesome, triggers are great, high shot count, easy to carry through the woods, and they are accurate. I have owned the LCS & Evanix speed. Still Love my Hubens! Kelly @ Krazy Kool air guns is a great guy to deal with.

Kelly built my K1 in .177. Kelly is great to deal with. The gun started out as a .22. The magazine was custom machined. I had a TJ barrel fitted to it. I've got a K1 in .22 and .25, the .177 is the gun gets far more use of the three. Now if I could get a K1 in .30(witch I don't need but want) my little corner of the air gun world be complete.

And they are fun and there also seriously powerfull, i love mine i shoot stones and golf balls sometimes for fun knocking them further away with every shot out to crazy distance with out moving my arm to re cock just keep my eye in, End up emptying a mag in no time and running out of air pretty quick but i still love my .25

You may have Kelly put the new improved loading gate on your Huben, I was told it makes loading a little easier,
I got one ordered from Kelly also E T A is Feb sometime, Mine is the 22 syn stock.
Still looking for a scope for it.

I talked to Kelly about the improved gate thingy too. Are you aware of any other “ tweaks” that I need to know about?

I ended up stripping the mag off the barrel to clean it properly its a bit of a PIA but do able the Huben is a fantastic rifle so light compared to others

Yes sir. I just love the wooden stock. I know it’s going to get some nicks and bruises but that’s OK.
