HFT Rifle Raw Micro vs BRK Carbine

[Motorhead]

Neither the Mini nor the Micro have soda straw barrels.

A term used for the model with the much smaller diameter barrel which is much less than the typical 16 mm, looks @ 12mm IIRC

And it's only 8" long and still very stiff.

RAW

With either the mini or the micro I'm assuming the cocking lever can be switched to either side of the gun?

How about bottles, is the bottle on the micro as thick as on the mini in case I want a 480cc on the micro for high shot count?

And 12 fpe in .177, is it a hassle to convert either one to this power level? What's entailed, just a quick explanation so I the jist ?

This would be for plinking on my property and goofing around in unlimited FT at 12 fpe.

Got any links for the best aftermarket .177 mags?

Thanks

Hello there,

I am getting into HFT and have narrowed the choice to these two. The reason is that I am now interested in shorter length airguns and would prefer something that I can take around easily and shoot outside of the competitions.
The BRK is much more expensive, any of you can compare the two guns for HFT? For example some negative feedback for lack of adequate cheekpiece adjustability, but I dont know how that compares to the RAW.

Easy choice… neither. Get the raw pistol and put an AR15 butt stock on it. They come in .177 12ftlb or 20 ftlb versions. Here’s mine next to my Mini.

Do you have a link to the butt stock? Is it a direct fit or needs some modification? And can you change that ugly grip?

I have an almost new RTI P3 in .22. What if I bought a barrel kit in .177 and just convert it and save some dollars?

What grain and brand is popular among HFT shooters?

For Hunter class field target here in the US, you want to be close to 20fpe, but not over.

Far and away, the two most used pellets are the JSB 10.3 and the 13.4 Monsters (Original), both in .177. Less used, but also competitive is the .20/13.73, also by JSB.

Those three pellets are what people who want to win shoot, simple as that. Much of it has to do with BC, and the fact that those three are as good as it gets for the combination of weight and speed that keeps you legal (again, slightly under 20fpe).

Caveat: I say JSB but some swear by FX or AA or Daystate branded pellets ....they're the same pellet, made by the same manufacturer, sub contracted out to be placed in different tins. Yes, a particular batch of xzy may really ji e with a particular barrel, but that doesn't change the fact that JSB made them.

As for getting a .177 barrel for your RTI, it's not a typical rifle we see at FT matches, but that doesn't mean it can't be competitive, in the right hands and with the right amounts of practice.

So 10.3 gr shooting at 870 fps would be a good idea
