Need help and direction in regards to purchasing a new PCP in .25 or .30 cal

[Dairyboy]

TonyTMy Airtwwolf in 25 provides 50 shots with a 10 fps ES from a 210 BAR fill at ca 40-42 Ft lb. from their 500 cc bottle. My Cricket 25 provides 50 shots with the same ES at 56 ft lb with a 350 cc bottle from a 210 BAR fill. With my 22 cal. Cricket with a 280 cc reservoir I obtain 80 regulated shots at 30 ft lb from a 210 BAR fill. The Crickets appear to be more efficeint in terms of air usage than the Airwolf.

Wow those daystate numbers are kinda sad...on a regulated .25 Mrod alot of us are getting 40 shots at 40fpe within 15fps spread with less than 200ccs on a 3000psi fill.

I havnt looked into daystate numbers and I was expecting 45 fpe plus from their bottle rifles but I guess not. I understand not wanting less than 45+ fpe from a .25 I just didnt realize the daystates were that low on power.

That's why my first Daystate will be the Wolverine .303 Hi-Lite...I can forgive low shot count for sheer aesthetics and power.

Merry Chrismas to all from Down Under,

Thanks everyone your input in regards to helping me make a decision about which rifle to choose. I mostly hunt but I am a member of a local Gun Club so I will also be doing competing as well (For social aspect really) Weight of the rifle is not an issue for me at all as I am ex forces and remain fit. My argument is, if you can't carry your rifle all day then your not fit enough and you should therefore aim to change that. There are benefits to this such your health, no restriction as to the weight of a rifle that you would like to buy. Because of this, you will enjoy your time out in the field more because of this. But hey, that's just my opinion. I do understand that not everyone can carry a heavy rifle as they have physical issues doing so because of age or physical injury. Well that's enough of all the BS from me. Again I truly thank everyone for there input. I have decided and I will be placing an order in early January 2017. I have chosen to op for the RAW 1000x in .30 but it will have the LRT stock in the charcoal color. Thumb hole stock with an extra Carbon Fiber bottle in 500cc and another magazine. The barrel will be Carbon Fiber wrapped as well. I have attached a link of what it will look like.

Christmas cheers to everyone and their family's and may 2017 be happy and prosperous for all concerned !!

Tony i agree with what you are saying completely,25 cal.really needs to be 50 ft lbs minimum in my experiece,the the kalibrgun crickets really do take some beating,im very tempted to buy a 35 cal.cricket and machine a 30 cal barrel for it,they are ultra reliable and very accurate,
I have an impact in 25 with a 30 barrel,im very tempted to have a cricket
