Nothing wrong with a high powered .25, but there's a group of us out there that know how effective a low powered .25 is for close range pests.

Favorite .25 Cal. Which one is yours and why?

I'm right there with you. My .25 FX Crown is one such rifle that can be easily dialed back for urban backyard use. Starlings hate it.

I think this is where the Huben K1 is so good. I get 90 fpe out of mine but I can dial it all the way down to about 10 if I want to.

I've got my .25 Bandit carbine shooting 27 grain wadcutters at 480 fps. It absolutely wrecks mice and bounces off of barn walls.I'm right there with you. My .25 FX Crown is one such rifle that can be easily dialed back for urban backyard use. Starlings hate it.

Probably not fair because I only have one .25, but even if I had more, I think it'd still be my favorite.
pp800 w/ cothran valve. Has 9" and 15" barrels. Both deadly accurate. 48/65fpe respectively.

What settings are you using for that?It’s kind of hard for me to choose. My Impact M3 is really hard to beat, although I have a Wildcat Mk III BT Compact that I’ve tuned to sling FX 34 grain pellets at 66 FPE that I also love. Then there’s my Leshiy 2…
I guess I’m gonna have to have a shootout this afternoon just to see

The gauntlet 2 that I had was surprisingly accurate for a cheaper gun. It also shot every random pellet I put in very well.

FX Maverick compact. So much power from a little gun. I have a 600mm m3 in route so that selection is likely to change

I’ve had several .25 cal air rifles over the years and will have to say my current wildcat compact mk3 is my favorite out of all of them. Great ergonomics, good power for the size, laser accurate with jsb 25.4 and hades pellets

Two 25's
One AGT Uragan King at 65 fpe, 100 shots a fill, fun on steel even farther out using 29gr NSA slugs and for prairie dogs.
Also a AGT VULCAN 3.
Primarily staying with Altaros 60gr Queens at 862 fps giving 99 fpe. Killer for long range! Puts a 22rf standard velocity to shame in vertical and thump at longer distances.

i've had many different ones, and there gone now for certain reason's
i own 2 now and will keep them because each one has its own purpose.
vulcan 3 700mm for reach out and touch them far away critters with great accuracy.
and a Talon-p for close up and personal hunting with a lot of power and accuracy.
V3 is bone stock with no adjustments producing 86fpe
and the talon-p has the condor high flow tank and tuned for 62fpe
i'm good in the .25 run

FX Impact MK2. I set it up as a slugger shooting NSA 38.5 grain. It did take a little to get it tuned but now it is a real grouper.

I have 2 being the FX Crown MKii/700mm and my SK-19. Both are a beast with outstanding accuracy

I have the slow twist .22 LR and it shoots great. I also have one of the new RPB barrels in .25 on its way to me from the RTI Arms store. Looking forward to seeing how it compares up against the 22 LR.
