Hey people I'm trying to decided if I should get my new fx maverick in .25 cal or .30 cal can you help with pros and cons for both I'm hunting birds at 78+ yrd
Fx Mavrick sniper .25 cal or .30 cal
- Thread starter Mikerochburns
- Start date
30 cal is near 2X the cost of rimfire ammo and probably way more than needed for birds. I’d go 25 and if you feel you need 30 you can always get the barrel kit later.

The Impact is more adjustable and advanced but I find the Crown the very best with less fiddling around and has a more natural set up with the mag in front of your face and ears.
Not having the mag below your ears will be evident over time.
A rifle with a natural set up like a real firearm where the mag is always in front of your face is always superior in design to me.

lol Ok. Well let me just say I have a Maverick and I have a friend who has the new Impact M3 and I love them both. However, if I told you that he and his M3 can out shoot me with my Maverick, I would be lying. We have a debate back and forth all the time as to which we like better. I am sure there are very specific purposes where the M3 may outshine the Maverick to a point where you could notice, but I can't imagine for an even above average shooter and enthusiast that it matters. That being said, I would still like to make that my next PCP.
I am certainly glad I bought the Maverick in .25 for the purpose of very quiet back yard squirrel elimination. The .30 is quite a bit louder, even the noise the projectile makes when it hits a squirrel. The Maverick is just dead nuts accurate and consistent, and I have tuned it perfectly to a lot of different projectiles. Add a DonnyFL Ronin and the pests quietly disappear while I giggle like a little kid.

People who shrug off deliberate deceptions, saying, “I didn’t mean it, I was only joking,” Are worse than careless campers who walk away from smoldering campfires

Because I'm Farley new to the air gun world and I watched as many videos as I could but there is nothing like hearing from real people that know this sport inside and out

So taking all the things into consideration that I did not even think of like cost of ammo the noise a .30will make hitting something .30 is over kill and if I really want it later I can buy a kit and make it a .30 I doughty the .25 I love it...But I just did a tune on it and I adjusted the power knob and now I get hit in the face with air coming out around the magazine when I shoot anybody know what I did and how to fix it?

You may have a missing o ring when dissembling, happen to me when removing the pin prob and the o ring in front of it seated in the back of the barrel fell out
