aaS510 and slugs in .25

[Kevinkd]

Hey all, new to forum (but not pb or airguns).

Looking to get a .25 and want to use slugs also. Does anyone have any experience with the aaS510 and slugs? I've got a .22 streamline and that fx barrel cant take slugs. I want something that will get a little farther out there (pests or fun).

Thanks

There great guns but don't think it would be a good choice for shooting slugs in .25.

Limited on power and no hammer spring adjustment to fine tune for slugs!

Taipan Veteran, Cricket, edgun are a way better choice in my opinion and have alot of success with slugs. FX slug liners are still in the learning stages and haven't seen a lot success yet....

Now you got us interested, what caliber, slug weight and speed and above all what kind of 100yd accuracy are you getting? I've always like the Cricket Carbine/Rifle.

I love it too! Really thinking on one in .22 for my next project. 

.25 cal and so far the best slug is the varmint knocker 32.8 big hollow points at 920 fps. Have printed 1.5" groups at 100 with a 13 mile an hour wind quartering at my back. Had some really crappie spring weather here so far at least ever time I have time to shoot...lol. have some custom weights with different bases to try too but between work and life in general haven't been able to get to the range. 

Oh yah and that monster scope is the one in Joe's review on the 2-15×52 konus pro FFP !

Thanks for the replies.

Unfortunately I should have stated ahead of time, I'm in commie Canada so alot of those suggestions are not available here....

In .25 I can get the aas510, walther maximathor, artemis m11, benjamin mrod (just got one in .177), seneca sumatra (500cc), BT65 SB, FX (crown, streamline), daystate,wolverine, benjamin armada, airforce condor and the one place has edgun leshiy but is out of stock of course.

Not much to choose from here.... hate to spend money on something I dont really like. I've looked into the sumatra and it shoots slugs pretty good, but not heard great things (pot metal etc)... 

Thanks

Anyone else have a suggestion from the available list?



Thanks

If you are going to shoot slugs the Sumatra is the way to go. Super loud without suppression and low shot count, but it's almost 100 fpe and the barrel is not choked.

Yeah the Seneca 2500 I bet would be a great choice.
