12 fpe gun in the USA?

RAW offers their rifles in 12 fpe versions, and the Air Arms HFT 500 is a 12 fpe rifle, available at Pyramryd. If you need a less expensive plinking rifle, it may need to be a special order. 

The Crosman 1720T would be an option. A Prod Might be another, if you want a .22 cal repeater.

Hi

If you are looking for something inexpensive, surely Gamo can co-shape that power, you can also look for one that comes from the UK that is not FAC

I have been eyeing the BSA Ultra SE for a while now. It comes in 12fpe straight from AoA. From all the research I have done, it shouldn’t disappoint. 

Have also seen the Huntsman Regal XL available as a 12fpe. I would call & ask, wont hurt. 

My wife shoots the fx dreamline.she powers it down to under 12 easy. It shoots great at 25 yrds. In backyard.great gun 

The AA S 200 and the AA 400 FT are both 12 fps guns. 

A few PCPs have adjustable power, the AA s510s for example. With a chrony you could easily get them to 12fpe on the nose.

Just FYI, my Royale 400 .22 is 10 fpe on low. Shooting the JSB 16, accuracy is adequate for yard plinking. 

I second the P-rod. They advertise 15 lbs mine came from Crosman at about 13.5. Easy to dial it down to 12 lb average. 

Saltlake56,



Crosman has the Benjamin Maximus EURO that is configured at 12 fpe. Check it out and see if it fits your needs.

A good number of my guns are in the 12 ftlbs range and I actually prefer it. In my yard I can get out to almost 60 yards. I know the distance for all the spots I shoot so holdover isn’t an issue.

the reasons I like it are lower noise, not just the gun but the impact on target. On my older non reged guns the fill pressure is much lower so a scuba fill last much longer. 


I have a Marauder in .177 with a Huma. At 12 it is boringly accurate. As a side effect of the low power the cocking is also really light.

I vote for the P-Rod. It's easy to tune down and you can get 40 accurate shots at 20 yds from one fill (50 pumps).

The Fortitude's trigger is easily improved with an inexpensive trigger upgrade, so don't let that hold you back if that's what you want. I did the Baker trigger mod to my Maximus and it works great.

I have a Cricket .22 that is powered down to shoot at only 8.5 FPE with 16-grain JSBs; the pellets are shooting at 495 FPS (I can achieve 450 shots from 220 - 40 BAR with an extreme spread of 12 FPS over the entire range with unsorted pellets). I live in a suburb and I practice-shoot in my backyard and, on occasion, eliminate pest pigeons, and it is important that I don't shoot at high power. Even at this power level, however, I can hit the tips of palm tree leaves (my practice targets) at 43 yards. 

If money is no object and you want a high-end, versatile airgun, those that allow you to adjust their hammer spring rates and regulator pressures--even better, the hole on their transfer ports (though with most guns with holes in their barrels to permit air let-in you can just rotate them to increase/decrease their hole size)--can easily have their power decreased/increased to your own liking.

Most springers are in the 12-13ft lb level as well

AA HFT500 works for precision backyard 12fpe sniping. No regulator needed but a good LDC is a MUST it's a Bob Barker. The BSA JSR Ultra 12fpe works too. Cool as heck shorty a mini Bob Barker not as Barley as the AA still a Bob Barker though. Want a fun simple DIY a Crosman Challenger swap out TP with Disco/Maximus get around 11fpe that has a match grade Lothar Walter barrel no need to add a regulator. Another Bob Barker just so you know. AA Ev2 and FTP900 if you want to go serious. Deals on pre loved ones popping up just you watch. I scored a 12fpe EV2 MK2 with a custom Gary Cane stock just recently it's awesome. Crickets (not hating I love my Crickets) may be irregular first couple shots when it's been sitting when cranked down to 12fpe with the factory reg FYI. You can do a Huma BSA Bucanneer 12fpe too but may have to ditch that front barrel Band for better accuracy. Get a Fortitude and buy the OEM Challenger trigger group with a credit card gift card shim spacer you cut yourself and trigger guard it's worth it if you're a die hard Fortitude kinda guy and want a beat very lightweight toy. Be sure it's not a leaker and shoots accurate enough to your liking before voiding the 5 year warranty like that and id keep it if it shot cheap Wal-Mart CPHP and 7.4 pointeds. Cheap ammo works - sometimes. Penny a pop even more fun. Crosman 1701p factory LW barrel too with side folding collapsible AR stock Disco TP gets you around 9-10fpe sub one inch at 50 on calm days no regulator needed I like it since it shoots cheap ammo great. Get yourself a TKO it's a Bob Barker without one at 10fpe. Yo!

Saltlake,

Almost all of my rigs are 12 ft.lb. From a high end Thomas and Steyr, down to a Marauder. I would also not hesitate to use a 1720T, as a few have suggested above. A few weeks ago, I put up a video on how to tear down a 1720T for a rebuild at 12 ft. Lbs. I've been waiting for parts, and time to rebuild it, that is today's (Sunday) mission. The 1720T is an excellent platform, along with the other Crosman and Benjamin offerings. Relatively inexpensive, and tons of aftermarket parts available from dozens of sources. The 1720T can be equipped with a shoulder stock, or, with just a little more modification to the stock of a Crosman Challenger. If you have any specific questions, PM me, as almost everything I own has been brought to 12 ft.lb by me, or purchased at that power level.

I have other videos on my Channel, Field Target Tech, demonstrating the modifications to a .177 Marauder for 12 ft lb. power levels. The reassembly of the 1720T, will be up today or tomorrow.
