I was looking at getting a Weihrauch HW77K springer in .25 caliber but was warned off, so I got scared and passed on what may have been good deal.

Bio is spot on as usual.
Don't underestimate the change in trajectory. A 15 FPE springer will shoot a 25.39 grain pellet at just over 500 feet per second. In a back yard shooting out to around 30 meters they can be excellent on small game. Very few 20 plus FPE springers are much fun to shoot very long. Nothing wrong with one, just know what you are getting into and set your expectations accordingly.
One strong advantage is the pellets are much easier to handle and load for anyone with dexterity concerns. Generally speaking the larger pellets also suffer less from bent skirts and deformations which makes shooting straight from the tin more enjoyable.
I think the best way to put it is this:

I have a HW80k, HW90 and a HW97kt all in .25. Can’t go wrong with Weihrauch. I have a 77k, 95l and 98 all in .25 on order. My distance is 20 to 35yd. Starling and tree rats. Target plinking, The .25 is adequate at these distances. Crow
Before you give up on a .25 Cal Springer, try one with the Predator GTO .25 Cal 16.54 alloy domed pellets. I have been using these pellets in my .25 Vortex springer for several years now. It has been by far the most accurate pellet and I have tried them all. It shoots at about 900 fps with about 2 MOA accuracy at 50 yards. It has been a very reliable pesting air rifle.
