What is the best Semi-Auto Airgun?

Jump to latest Follow Reply
I have limited experience with semi autos, SK and K1s. I'd go with the K1, easy tune, power out the wahzo if you want it. The Huben is a mature platform, no bugs left in it. The only problems I've had with them was user error ( self inflicted). Kelly has been able to talk me through any problem I've caused, best customer service I've ever experienced. I like the K1s so much I've 3 of them, one in .177, .22 and one in .25. If they made one in .30 I'd add it to my collection i a heart beat.

I have owned and returned several semi-autos. Including a k1 and the biggest problem for me is jamming. The two I have kept are the AEA and the KalibrGun Springbok. The Springbok has never jamed but the aea I can unjam. I like the open bolt with the Springbok. I would like a styer some day. I would recommend the AEA as your first because its the best cheep one. I've got 1300 pellets through the springbok and I still love it. Even more after the reg is broken in.

I bought an AEA HP Carbine TD .25 Cal, and I returned it because the gun would not cycle properly.

I've owned the HP SS .25 cal for about 3 months now, I've loved the gun. I also have a Hatsun sortie that I know lots of people seem to hate and I've never had a problem out of that gun either. I guess I just gotten lucky.

The HP looks good I wish it was regulated. My understanding is that it is not.

Below entirely imo, of course.

1. Forget Leshiy. Huge price tag for what it is. Semi with a low magazine count equals a disability. Next to that a rather poor number of shots per fil.
And above all of course : it s an ugly a** gun.

2. Someone earlier on in this topic here, named Steyr Pro X :
Say Steyr, say Quality. With capital Q. This quality however comes at the cost of a serious price tag. And again but 10 shots magazines. In .22 that is . Which makes it not a gun for you, since you re asking for a .25 semi.

3. Going lowcost there’s AEA to start with. Can t say anything for sure about AEA quality since I don t own AEA myself (and i v only shot 1 AEA on one occasion). On the other hand, must say the latest AEA review I read on a Dutch airgun forum didn t quite make me jump for joy. But i don t doubt there are enough others to contradict me.

4. Another lowcost one to consider might be the Snowpeak M40. Don t own one but an acquaintance seems quite happy with it. But again :, limited magazine counts.

5. By far the best choice in my book, would be the Huben in its latest edition. Not the cheapest, that’s a fact. But at this point I can t think of a more accurate and smooth shooting semi at the moment. Provided it s well tuned. Of course.

i sort of went through this decision although it was some time ago.
that's why i am likely to recommend whatever i own. i like the compact nature of the L2, but if quietness was critical, there may be better options.

That is the difference between a top brand like FX and and cheaper brand like AEA, like many thing from China it is a hit or a miss. Mine was a total miss.

I am very good friends with @ctshooter and i see you are also only 35 minutes from me. If you wanted we could meet up and you can try the huben k1 and the leshiy 2 both of mine are in .25 but after only owning the huben for a very short time I am extremely happy with it. If you would like more detailed information or any questions don't hesitate to reach out.







Thanks for thco
