Leaning towards a D.A.R PCP .22 or .25????

[blacksmth]

Hey guys , 

I am looking into the DAR air guns , but i guess i would like some advice on pros and cons on caliber between the .22 or .25.

I would be interested in some figures on energy and on drop from the owners of this gun. I watched the Mountain sports video on the .25 and was impressed to say the least.

All of my air guns of now are .22 cal a Benjamin Pump and a Benjamin Titan and I have been shooting up to 40 yards mostly with 14-15 grain pellets. 

Will the .25 carry further at longer distance ? I know the weight means more energy ,but the larger pellet creates more drag and maybe possible drift and more trajectory.

I would think for Hunting and larger pests Foxes , coons , Feral cats the .25 would do better . I like the Idea of The DAR being Hand pump Friendly also ..

Please send Comments and suggestions ,

Thank you

I'm shooting 75 to 100 yards with my 22. I i think it comes down to what you want/ needs are. I know alot of the 100 yard bench rest guys are shooting 25 and 30 because the heavier pellet isn't affected by the wind as much. But then 2 pellets the same weight the smaller one will have less load applied.

The guys over on gta are way ahead of the game on Dar airguns. Love my .177.

How did I not know about this fantastic bargain of a rifle? This thread got me looking into it. Seems like "half price" to me.

It's not a bad gun at all for the price, mine has been ticking for over a year now in .25 caliber. I liked it far more than the Avenger I had that got sent back to PA.

I shoot over 100 yards on the regular, my friend took a Coyote awhile back with his. It was actually the fastest kill I've ever seen on a coyote.

How much drop does your Pcp have from 25 yards to 100 yds?
