The .22 Sidewinder is awesome. Down to 12fpe but up to 72fpe. I am very impressed with the accuracy. The one downside is the trigger, but considering the full auto I have grown to like the hunting trigger on it.

Sidewinder .25 …. My experience and achieved accuracy.
- Thread starter Emu
- Start date
Wow this gun sounds fantastic in every caliber,.......if I ever manage to sell my current stock I will certainly consider heavily a Sidewinder in .25 since I'm getting a Huben pistol in .25

Update April 19th, 2023.
Changed scopes three times. Now it has a Vortex Tactical. Accuracy is really good.
No regrets nor cons to share.

Update April 28th, 2023.
No fails.
Each day more convinced that this rifle is an ideal hunting rifle: accurate, accurate, accurate, lots of shots in the magazine, perfect length, double safety ....
You do not find a reason to pick other of your rifles to bring it with you.
I do like it.

I got some NSA slugs in for my sidewinder .22, and the .2175 ones are doing really well at 50 yards. planning to get 100yard target set up this weekend if my hand heals enough to shoot. Don't keep loose razor blades in your toolbox if you are prone to blindly rummaging around in it.

It sounds like a kick butt airgun. Only 7.7 lbs and quality barrel nice range of power. In .22 you could probably get plenty of shots with a lower 3500psi . Definitely keep the .22 sidewinder on my radar with the Huben.

Apparently there’s a trade off: good trigger in the Huben vs. Big bottle in the Sidewinder.

There's something different when I shot with the Sidewinder .25 and the JSB 34 grain MKII that I do not feel with ANY of my other air rifles:
" If I measure the distance correctly, I know that if I pull correctly the trigger I am going to hit the target."
That certainty makes a difference !

I watched a review on the Huben that was shooting 18g pellets at 890fps and 32 fpe and the reviewer got 90 shots with a 3500 psi fill.
The 5000 psi fill was 140 shots. Seems pretty efficient for a 270cc cylinder. I have no interest in a 5000 psi fill with a hand pump.
The removable magazine seems like a nice feature. The sidewinder has a nice shot count also and the weight is reasonable 7.7 lbs vs 7.2 on the Huban. Tough choice.

At my age and condition I have no interest in filling anything, not even a ball, with a hand pump !!!

Update May 19th.
No problems nor cons.
Each day I like the must not having the side level nor a bolt.
Shot by shot with calm on a bench, shooting with a Wolverine is more pleasant, but for taking a rifle to hunt, I see the sidewinder ideal (size comfort, accuracy, power, semi auto....).
