Who makes the P25-177? Gamo? Is it a pistol or a rifle?I really like my P25-177 which is almost the same as a Stoeger bullshark. I get close to 100 19fpe shots from a fill. It is surprisingly effective on squirrels and good for targets in low wind. Likes H&N Baracuda Match pellets and easily gets them going 900 fps. Nice and quiet with an in shroud printed moderator. Only weighs about 5 lbs.
It is a good rifle, just not an expensive one.
i have a different take on the tiny .177 pellet.Probably not but I want one! I hoped to justify it by using the price of pellets but the maths just do not work out. Quieter? No again. My Zelos in .25 is so quiet that it sucks in sound from other pellet rifles going off in the area and makes them quieter. The only justification I have is that my .25 is tearing up the cheap spinner targets I have, and that's enough for me!
So, can you recommend a PCP .177 that is inexpensive and has a high shot count?
I could reverse that question. I have been a .25cal man for many years(years back) but after returning to the airgunscene starting with an accurate good .177cal . I am asking myself:"Do I really need a .25cal"?....Probably not but I want one! I hoped to justify it by using the price of pellets but the maths just do not work out. Quieter? No again.

I have shot the same 30 yard challenge score with both head sizes. It doesn't seem to care.Do you remember which diameter of the HN Baracuda Match yours likes?
Only if your fingers still have the dexterity and feeling to fiddle with those irritating tiny pellets.Probably not but I want one!

That’s a typo … JIMD has 3 P35 sWho makes the P25-177? Gamo? Is it a pistol or a rifle
i agree as well 4.51 and 4.52 shoot well out the .177 Bullshark ( P35)I have shot the same 30 yard challenge score with both head sizes. It doesn't seem to care.
7 mags about 77shotsHigh shot count? At what power level?
My stock .177 Marauder gets over 160 shots on one fill ...if choked down to 5-6ftlbs, but performs best at ~11.5ftlbs with 8.6gr H&N ftt's (80 extremely consistent shots). Tuners haver gotten even better shot count at similar power (~12ftlbs) when they work their magic and add trick parts.
As a general guideline, half the power (fpe)= double shot count. Might not be 100%, but close enough. I like to back off on hammer springs then reduce transfer port diameter. Gives a tight ES without having to mess around with regulators. 12ftlbs give or take is plenty for .177, but some want more. Once you go north of 18ftlbs you start using more and more air, at 35+ftlbs .177's gulp big time.
Yeah there arent a whole lot of ammos that are actually cheaper in 177. Certainly some but not as many as maybe there used to be back in the day. I have been buying up the JSB KO MK3 slugs when they go on sale and those are the cheapest good ammo I have really come across so far. And even then the price difference between 22Cal is almost nothin
I’m still confused! Who makes these .177s? I’m looking for one.That’s a typo … JIMD has 3 P35 s
i agree as well 4.51 and 4.52 shoot well out the .177 Bullshark ( P35)
