.25 sub 12

[H U N T E R--B O Y 2]

Hey guy ive seen

a cheap .25 air rifle sub 12

just wanted to some opinions really

how bad is the trejectory?

How far would it kill a rabbit?

Um-mm I've got a bit of shooting experience with a sub 12 .25 mate as I filmed The Rise of the Verminator s using one.

 

I found it to be quite devastating on vermin.

 

I think I shot out to 50 metres on the scope camera (targets) with it and it was very nice.

 

On vermin I shot out to around 40 metres if I remember rightly and it was very clean.

 

The trajectory is quite steep but all you need to do is map it and its not a problem at all.

 

I wouldn't advise on using it at night with a lamp or NV equipment where lasing becomes an issue.

 

In the day time though its defo a good calibre to use on all the UK legal vermin.

nice what gun was you shooting with?

I'd say a Weihrauch HW80 or HW77 or 97K in this calibre would make a fantastic rat and rabbit rifle. I'm certainly interested after reading Si's recent foray with this calibre at sub-12 ft/lbs.

 

Regards.

I was shooting a Phil8282 tuned and regulated single shot BSA Ultra with X3 silencer.

i just saw the video on youtube that ultra dropped things easy!

If your looking to shoot out to the same distance as other calibres say 40-50yrds, why not go for a .22 bit more forgiving, an can be used at night also. Just a thought. Although I would like one, but would only get one if I had rats to deal with
