For a small savings i would buy new specially your new to this . Also if your new you do not know what used is supposed to be when new .

Greg,
Thank you for the report. Nice turnout. Looks as if the wind was an issue.

One or two .25 over in classifieds and on GunBroker. But they seem to be wanting top used price.

I was really surprised by this pricing. Lots that I looked at for the small savings I'd think better to buy new. I'm really new to it all, just kinda figured these things really hold value?

.25 cal 23” HP (stock 1:17.7 poly)
Factory hammer spring
Reg at 140 bar(stock gauge)
PW 10
JSB 33.95 Mk2 @ 910 fps, 3 SD / 10 ES

Came from AoA with 165 bar, PW Max @ 950 fps w/ 33.95 Mk2

I used a magnifying glass to set the reg pressure lol

Mattias,
Several others have already done that and published the results here on this forum. It is not just me saying this, just check the archives.

Hey, I finally got to shoot this rig. I love it so far, it seems the groups are tighter than my Maverick and the shot cycle is so smooth. I’ll need to shoot the 30 yard challenge to really see.

I shot about 100 33.95 mk2’s and then chrono’d 3 strings, they averaged 908-910 fps @ 140 bar and PW 10, 3 SD-10 ES. I’ll chrono again when I get more down range. This is the easiest rifle to tune, love a balance valve now.

THE SABER PICATINNY RAIL CAN NOT CLAMP ON AT ALL WHAT ARE MY OPTIONS

This listing has been renewed

My M3 came originally as a .22, but I replaced the barrel with a .30 from my old M2. I t has a 1:37 liner which shoots 44 gr pellets well at 885 fps, over 900, things begin to go bad. I don’t think you want to push pellets above 900 regardless of what liner you have. The newer liners provide are 1:22 which are more in the realm of slugs. I think FX is trying to sell rifles that are more do-all.

Hi ken
Is the freedom press still available.
Keep up the good work

Just connected V2 chrono with old phone, i think android 7, but here at least just sitting on table no connection loss.
Will try to shoot a little later when phone charged up to see in shot info will trigger connection loss.

A bit annoying if i have to bring a spare phone just for chrono use, but not the worst of problems

why waste the .30 ? unless you buy a large enough quantity (5 gallon bucket full ? )to get the projectile cost per shot down to the cost of a .22 pellet .

It's all about the secret handshake my friend.

Great buck on video Awesome

I have only shot doves, which are smaller. I have been surprised at the injury they can have and still not lay down and die immediately. I shot the entire top of the skull off, for instance and the dove stayed vertical for long enough to get another in the chest. I have only used 25 and 22s, maybe my 177. But I've seen no caliber difference. I think they weigh less than a squirrel. My conclusion is that sometimes they are too stupid to know they are dead. I think a 22 will work fine and a 30 not much better but I could be wrong.

Yogi was just lookin for BooBoo, and his pic-a-nic basket!

I like the cocking lever on the right, I am right handed. But I don't like magazines in my face (not a problem on any SPA gun I know of) and worry the cocking lever could be similar at least for me.

I got this one from Arthur E Brown company years ago for my Cayman. Still on there still works great. I think I had to shorten the screws a bit.

Lol that's funny
I haven't seen any yet but I've been hearing that there moving south here in central Michigan! Couple sittings near me this spring.

Welcome all,

I’ve achieved a major goal in my springer career. Today I was able to range my 77 out to 75m and beat up on a little 3.5” spinner plate. I would’ve tried the 2.5” plate, but I couldn’t see it haha.

I am now jealous ! Diopter sights @ 75 totally amazing to me , i cannot stand that still ever . I thought the video was over but it was only 1/2 played till i heard the shot later .

It's fascinating (well to a nerd like me anyhow) to track the small changes on these! Another characteristic of the earlierst postwar 27's, including my older H-S one, is the rather slab-sided butt, and somewhat angular ridges above the grip as you can see in my first photo above. Later 27's are more rounded and hand-friendly.

Does your model 25 have "Mod. 801" stamped under the stock medallion?

It's odd to me that most (all?) H-S model 27's are in .22 cal, but their imports of the more powerful model 35 ("Hy-Score model 809") are .177.
