Am I noticing that .25 parts and gun models are being discontinued quickly while their .22 and .177 counterparts remain accessible??? Dang, Hope .25 won't go the way of the 8-track...
Low speed/low energy factory versions aren't getting the popularity....the higher speed/higher energy versions seem to be doing fine.
Your Bandit could be an exceptionally good as a ratter at short range, but trajectory will be hard to out-guess past about 20-25 yards.
IMO the .25s and .30s are just flying off the shelves faster than they can make them
Are some good choices in .25 springers…..not real sure there is all that much of a market for .30 springers. Hatsan does it, but no one else seems to be in a rush to follow.Does seem like springers are more in tune with .177 or .22...likely either of those out sells the .25.Don’t see any sales data from the makers, so it’s all guess work….but low velocity springers (even with bigger/heavier pellets) just don't have tjhat big following.PCP’s, where velocity can be a whole lot more......yeah, does seem to be much more of a move towards .25. I’d still bet they sell more .22’s.--------Yeah....but the airgunners on the forums are a pretty small fraction of the total airgunners.

I've owned 22s and 177s for years, but I bought my first 2 25s this year because I'm conserving the reloading supplies I have on hand.
