Title: Armada in .22 & .25
Post by: Monkeydad1969 on April 18, 2015, 04:48:49 PM
On the Crosman site and the Armada w/o optics and bi-pod now comes in .22 and .25.  And runs 649.99 and 669.99.

With optics and bi-pod, and the option of .177, .22, .25---799.99-819.99-799.99---yes the .22 runs 20.00 higher.

Cool!! 8)

I thought it was strange they didn't come out with the Armada in .25 right from the start.

I hope the .25 has the good GM barrel, I would think it would.

The children need to be blessed.  LOL!

I am glad they introduced it in .25, now it looks like a winner to me.

Ah Joe yes they do need to be blessed.
I am glad you put their needs before yours.
I think one of your children wants a Jkhan and the other wants an armada.
 LOL

I think my inner child is my favorite and needs to be placated.

LOL!

Yes Joe I agree all those years of giving to the others has caused you to neglect you inner child.
I think a Jkhan would help heal the inner child.

( as for me the inner demon is telling me to buy another )

I am about to purchase my first pcp and am strongly considering the Armada in .25. Can anyone tell me what kind of max fpe I could expect with mods? Looking for a gun that I can shoot squirrels, sub 30yd head shots on Hogs, and Coyotes.

I am going to buy an American gun and it's between this and an Airforce gun.  What do you guys think? The specs don't give fpe for the .25, or fps.

As far as I know, the Armada is a reworked Marauder, so the specs should be similar to that.

It is a Gen2 Marauder in a tactical stock.  According to Chuck at crossman all of the barrels are tested for accuracy  both before and after they are attached to the Armada.

@tsakula why would you go with Airforce? Have you owned both a Maurader and Airforce gun? What didn't you like about the Marauder? What did you like about the Airforce?

Everyone is different, you wan't really know what is THE gun for you until you start buying them or at least try them, what is the best gun for one person could be the worst for the next guy.

i had marauder but not airforce. it was really heavy and honestly did not like quality too much. stock was moving and making strange noises when moving. it was really accurate in 25 cal but shot count was little too. airforce is much lighter. and LW barrel will be very accurate i am sure. plus air tank is much bigger, 500cc and you will have barrel change option.
