How would a $1500 pcp 25 cal rifle do against a $1500 22 lr rifle at 75yards ?? I'm thinking it would be a close draw....what's your thoughts ?
I'm curious about this pcp ques....

I think a well tuned PCP using properly sorted pellets will do better mainly due to the Long rifle ammo being less consistent. Perhaps match grade ammo will do better. But since all LR ammo is machine made the chance of every one being the exactly the same is a longer shot than what can be done with a PCP. I know I shoot better targets up to 100 yards with my Crown than I do with my Ruger 10/22 or my CZ 455. One other thing with $60 a brick ammo every purchase requires resighting in as the ammo manufacturers must be always changing the powder brands depending on the price they pay. Both of my 22s have been modified with aftermarket barrels, triggers etc. they are not entry lever for sure also they are not bench competition rifles either.

You fixing to answer this question? For me, the pcp takes the gold at 30 yards, in my suburb backyard. On account shooting the LR is kinda illegal and would piss off the neighbors.

I own a few Anschutz .22’s that have been customized and tuned and they will take even my most accurate PCP at 100 yards any day. At 50, that is a different story. Any given day my .22 or .25 cal barrels for my WAR Flex could outshoot my Annie’s. As mentioned above, the .22 ammo is very inconsistent. I’ve spent hours and hours doing ammo testing and chrono testing with various types of High end Eley, RWS and Lapua .22 LR ammo and even on the best stuff offered to the public, I’ve see. Up to a 30 fps spread in 10 shots. If you were to ask me to grab a rifle and shoot my best 50 yard group, I would still go for my custom Anschutz rifle, but to do that I would be shooting ammo that costs $20 / box of 50 so in that respect it’s not a fair comparison. If shooting ”regular” good quality .22 LR ammo, the PCP will win all day every day.
