So I have a cl listing up asking for .22 pellets people don't want, with a list of what brands and grain weights I was looking for also threw in that I might be interested in air rifles if you have em and don't want them..
I got a email about doing a trade or out right buying a basically brand new walther falcon hunter in .25cal... I have enough things for a even trade that the guy wants but one of them is my bigcat...
So my question(s) are how are they actual fps numbers for a .25cal falcon ? I know it depends on grain weight so could any owners with actual numbers post up what they are w/ the gr weight please..
The scopes that come with the falcon are they any good ? My bigcat has a leapers golden image ts 3-9x32AO scope with 2 peice rings. I love this scope and see it as like having a hd flat screen.. once you go 1080p flatscreen you can't really stand going back to a standard deff none flatscreen.. it will annoy you, trust me I know... so with money being tight should I just keep my scope and maybe pitch this guy a 20 dollar bill to keep the scope...
Is it even worth it to go to a magnum .25cal springer vs a .22cal 1000rd shot bigcat ?

Try reading all 4 parts, very good review see link below, and yes the scope is ok on the wfh but don't use the 2 piece rings that come with it, get a good one piece scope mount and use blue loctite on the allen head screws. If your concerned with ammo cost go with the falcon in .22 cal. Also ask him if the .25 he's selling has the sas recoil reduction system, and ask if it has the quattro trigger. And ask him if its been prof. lube tuned ....... the untuned .25 falcon hunter that i have shoots H&N ftt's at about 750 fps they weigh 20.6 gr. There are a few members here that you can end your wfh to and they will lube/tune it or you for not allot of money, Paul (ranedouglas on gta) is the goto guy on these for tuning. Good luck and remember this wfh is a hunting rifle not a all afternoon backyard plinker, unless your built like Arnold.....herees the link.

Thanks, alreadu knew about the sas and the trigger, I'm a fan of walthers. But after reading the numbers in the review a .22 falcon produces more speed and energy.. I think I'm going to pass on it and just wait for a .25 mrod or .25 condor
