N/A What Gun for slugs

[hebbe]

Hello! New here so i hope i post this in the correct category.

im looking to buy a pcp air rifle but dont know which one yet. Looking at a used Fx royal 500 but i dont know If i want a .25. Would rather have .22

Also looking at a new dreamline Classic and marauder.

A big plus is If it would be possible to shoot slugs from it in the future. And the smoot twist on royale dont like it. But how it it so shoot slugs from a marauder. Enough power or not?

PCP slug airgun

I'm thinking I need/want a dedicated PCP slug air gun not sure which one to get. I don't think a I can really run or want to run slugs through what I already have (Sniper HP .22, FX Impact M3/compact .25, Wolverine HP .25, Concept HP .177, HW 110 .177). Caliber wise I'm thinking .25 and its...

@hebbe No problem.

You will get so many differing opinions it won't really help....lol
Your best bet is to do some research on here, take most of what you read with a very objective view and make your choice.
There are people on here that hate on brands, love on brands, and are in the middle.
For many it takes one bad experience to think a brand is horrible, or have one gun and love it so think it's the best out there.
Welcome to the wonderful, confusing, world of airguns.

Yes its always like that, im in to cars and bikes and spend 90% of my free time building them and looking on forum and same thing there

The Royale 500 is a great gun but its Original Smooth Twist barrel will not shoot slugs. If slugs are your priority don't even think about it with that gun. I know of one guy on the forum who got his .177 Royale to shoot them but he's the ONLY ONE I've heard of who's had success. If you don't mind simplicity, low maintenance & consistent accuracy with pellets the Royale is superb. Check Matt Dubber's YT video about FX Royale 500, a fantastic all purpose pcp (something like that).

If you want a traditional rifle platform in FX for slugs, just do one of the models with Dynamic blocks. The deliver plenty of power and I believe all the 600 & 700mm barrels all come from the factory with a slug liner. Gun is easy to tune. If you don’t like small shot counts go with a front bottle version.
