I have located three rifles. A Tomahawk 2 ( Turkish ) rebarreled .20 a Kral N7 .25. And a Mendoza 2800 auto loader. Which would you buy?
Which rifle?

Well knowing where the tomahawk comes from its a contender. Otherwise I’d give it to the mendoza. Camo it up and use it as a back up hunter.

Would be a toss up...lol. I only know of one person who's rebarreled a Turkish built Webley Tomahawk to .20 so you'd be getting an excellent rifle. I'm a fan of .20 and not something I'd do, but being the same action as the Hatsan Model 95, you could easily swap calibers just by buying the barrels if you got the mad urge to. I also have a like for Mendoza air rifles and own a Blackhawk in .22 and a Made for Crosman Mendoza RM577 with the original peep sights.
Ummmm....I'd say just buy both while you have the chance

I own the Mendoza 3000 and 377. Would love to own the 2800. The Tomahawk is beautiful. The N7 is also very nice and a .25. Wish I could buy all three. Tuff decision. Wanna loan me some $$$
Really like my Mendoza's they are both underrated excellent shooters.

Never owned a Kral although I've considered them. While my Tomahawks aren't .20 cals, I already own 4. 1 in .177, 3 in .22, yep they are way prettier and why I kept them over the Hatsan 95's I also owned. Converting one to .20 is how I'm pretty sure I know who owns the one you're considering as we discussed it back when I was asking about the idea.
Can't say as I've seen the 2800 for sale very often, so to be honest, it's the one I'd grab and see if the gentleman with the Tommy would consider hanging on to it for a bit until you have the $$$ or maybe even consider taking payments.

The 2800 is by far a lot harder to find. I'm leaning towards it. It the most expensive out of them all.

Skip the Benji .20's, those things only shoot ok in my Streak and even that one, H&N and JSB shoot better. Both weights in the JSB's and the H&N FTT's should all shoot well and do in the 6 .20 cal rifles I have. Which one is the absolute best? The rifle will show you...lol.

Bought the Tomahawk. Full Tuned, trigger adjusted. Walther. 20 caliber barrel. Crowned and custom dressed. Will have it in a few weeks.

Ive shot the JSB Exact, the Benjamin Clyndrical, and the JSB Exact Heavy in my Condor at various velocities between 600 and 900 FPS. Did not like the Benjamin pellets. Did like the JSBs in both flavors. Particularly around 800 to 850 FPS.
