I helped my friend get a raw hm 1000 X 25cal it’s a great gun for sure. And as long as he can change caliber. Adjust power, he should be able to hunt a wide range of critters.Raw can go up to 30 or 35cal?
Sorry that's in YOUR realm of experience. I've found at least 2 that don't require the "extensive work" of which you speak.
Fx Royale 500, FX Boss & from what I've heard, read, Taipan Veteran, Kalibrgun Cricket carbine, RAW, Daystate Huntsman, etc. to name a few.
and no need for .30 cal.... the .25 will do all listed... and take a little longer barrel like x500+
Shot a dove with it, using the griffin 16gr flat base slug@850fps today at 116y... Typical dove shot, smack, poof and dropped stone dead. Through the mid crop out the dead center of his back... Saw him perched all comfy and puffed up on the top of a light pole, perfectly silhouetted against the beautiful blue sky. Those 16gr slugs you sent held almost as tight as 80 and 100 as those 45y groups I shot last night. I'm assuming they expanded by the look of the wound and the fact I could see flecks of lead in the exit.
That's phenomenal! Know that with the reg you will loose power, idk which reg you got but on my pump version with the longer barrel it had dropped 3fpe installing the reg.When set for low power you get an absurd amount of shots though
Been thinking about getting this 300bar tube and using the huma reg so I can adjust for more power. OR just getting the h class hatsan plug and play reg and just take the 3 ft lb hit.
Do not get the Revere in .25cal. Yes, it is underpowered for .25 and you'll have limited shots because of the smaller tube cylinder. The Huntsman Revere/Regal shines in .177 and .22 cal. You would be better off with the Wolverine R in .25cal with the bigger bottle.
Though the Wolverine R has a bottle, it really isn't intended for high power except in the 303 version... just doesn't have much plenum. The Huntsman is pretty much the same except less reservoir. Both REALLY shine in the 20 gn, 22 cal and below. The people who purchase either of these for a high power 22 or 25 are generally disappointed from what I've seen...
Have you ever thought about a DRS. If you're looking for a traditional rifle form, the drs in walnut fits that description... also in .25-700mm with SHP can hit 91FPE. 600-73
My other son & law likes the drs a lot. I was looking at that one for him eventually. Not sure on shot count on that one. Can’t be very much.
The 700 has a 300~cc cylinder. If you're shooting slugs on the heavier side at really high power, not much, maybe 1 mag. I use lighter slugs fast and get about 2 mags. If you're using pellets at ideal pellet speeds, it's a typical 300cc tube gun. The power range is enormous.
