My daughter is here now. Couldn’t come at Christmas due to weather. She gave me these for Christmas.

I picked this one up over the holidaysSHARE a pic of any airgun (or related equipment) you acquired over the Holidays!
It's a RTI thing...I get it.. 3 in the house and enjoy everyone of them.So this arrived today…
…purchased from Leon in this forum’s Classifieds. Leon is a great guy to deal with - super nice and helpful.
So now I have a RTI Prophet Performance .25 to join my Prophet Performance .22.
Super excited because now I have both the .22 and .25 Version 1 RTI proprietary Lothar Walther barrels. These 2 barrels are slower twist rate polygonal rifling barrels - designed to allow pellets to be shot a higher than normal velocities and remain stable in flight.
I didn’t opt for a Prophet V2 because I don’t shoot slugs - so I didn’t want the faster twist rate V2 barrels.
I know the twist rate is 1:32 for the V1 .22 barrel. I think the twist rate is 1:24 for the V1 .25 RTI LW barrel - does anyone know for sure?
I also have the .177 LW 510mm barrel. I’ll likely swap the .25 for .177 - as I shoot 45 yards and in during the winter.
Did I need another Prophet? Nope - and its only 4 minutes to swap barrels and probes on the Prophet. But NOTHING has shot better than my .22 RTI LW proprietary barrel, so I had to collect the .25 - and they don’t make them anymore… future classic pellet barrels.

Yep, simple design, super accurate, easy external adjustments, huge power on demand and so compact. I like traditional style rifles (i.e. Daystate Huntsman), but the Prophet changed my mind about a great design for an air rifle.It's a RTI thing...I get it.. 3 in the house and enjoy everyone of them.
Great little gun. I have a T05 Model 52 Luxus and it’s a pleasure to shoot. If you scope it I suggest the Diana ZR mount. Saves scopes and works very well when set up properly.She ain't much, but I picked up this used Diana 48 T05 .177 cal. Nice little tack driver as I found out doing some shooting over the holiday break. (Sling swivels were already installed, so I thought to add a 1907 leather sling to give it a military feel)
The length of pull is bit short for me though, so I'm currently hunting around for a Diana 52 or BAM B21 clone stock that'll provide a little extra length.
