Let's see what you got!

My daughter is here now. Couldn’t come at Christmas due to weather. She gave me these for Christmas.

So this arrived today…

…purchased from Leon in this forum’s Classifieds. Leon is a great guy to deal with - super nice and helpful.

So now I have a RTI Prophet Performance .25 to join my Prophet Performance .22.

Super excited because now I have both the .22 and .25 Version 1 RTI proprietary Lothar Walther barrels. These 2 barrels are slower twist rate polygonal rifling barrels - designed to allow pellets to be shot a higher than normal velocities and remain stable in flight.

I didn’t opt for a Prophet V2 because I don’t shoot slugs - so I didn’t want the faster twist rate V2 barrels.

I know the twist rate is 1:32 for the V1 .22 barrel. I think the twist rate is 1:24 for the V1 .25 RTI LW barrel - does anyone know for sure?

I also have the .177 LW 510mm barrel. I’ll likely swap the .25 for .177 - as I shoot 45 yards and in during the winter.

Did I need another Prophet? Nope - and its only 4 minutes to swap barrels and probes on the Prophet. But NOTHING has shot better than my .22 RTI LW proprietary barrel, so I had to collect the .25 - and they don’t make them anymore… future classic pellet barrels.

It's a RTI thing...I get it.. 3 in the house and enjoy everyone of them.
 
She ain't much, but I picked up this used Diana 48 T05 .177 cal. Nice little tack driver as I found out doing some shooting over the holiday break. (Sling swivels were already installed, so I thought to add a 1907 leather sling to give it a military feel)

The length of pull is bit short for me though, so I'm currently hunting around for a Diana 52 or BAM B21 clone stock that'll provide a little extra length.

Great little gun. I have a T05 Model 52 Luxus and it’s a pleasure to shoot. If you scope it I suggest the Diana ZR mount. Saves scopes and works very well when set up properly.
