.25 caliber fans
« on: July 26, 2010, 06:55:51 PM »
How many of you guys shoot the .25 cal in the air rifle configuration? Also what brand of rifle, pellet, and hunting experience`s with this particular caliber?
I am thinking about buying one to round out my air rifle arsenal, so any info would be appreciated.

I have the Benjamin Marauder in all 3 cal's. The 25 is one power house for sure. It shoots fantastic. I shoot the H&N Baracudas in 31.2 Grains. Get ya a marauder and don't look back......

Thanks Dave,
I have been looking at several different brands, Walther, Benjamin Marauder, etc.
The Marauder looks like a nice package, Jim Chapman wrote a great review on it. What type of scope do you have on yours? Also do you refill your reservoir with a small portable tank or pump?

I have a centerpoint 3-9-50AO scope with high rings by leepers. I use my benji 3 stage handpump and I have an 80 cu ft scuba tank to fill with. I took mine out for laughs and the rifle made fun of me ha ha it placed 7 shots into a dime sized group in a 3/4" wood board. It shot  right through that board like it was hot butter. i was shooting on my 20 yd close range at my home using shooting sticks not a shooting-bench. These are some bad boy rifle in every sense of the word. I was shooting H&N baracudas in 31.2 grains. A fellow I know makes some nice shooting ammo in 42 or 43 grain Hollowpoints for the marauders and othe big boar airguns. He is Bob Vogal aka Mr.Hollowpoint and has some viedos on youtube check them out if ya get a chance. Bob is a great guy to talk too and knows his stuff.
