Opinions needed

First I would like to apologize if this isn't the right gate. I'm new to GTA and airguns in general. I'm in the market for a new rifle. I'm leaning towards the Wildcat .25. I also am interested in the Bobcat .25 and .30. I'm curious if anyone owns one or both, if they like them and why? Also would u buy it again or something different? Any input would be appreciated and thank u.

Your in the right gate.  I own a bobcat .25 and love it.  It's my go to gun.  This weekend I got a chance to go out with some new friends that are air gunners, this was the first they saw my gun.  They all have long guns, but had a other friend with a wildcat, they had shot in the past.  They commented that they perferred the fill of the bobcat over the Wildcat.  It had better balance in a off hand shot but they love the compact fill for a hunting carry.  The bobcat for me is a nice cross of the long gun and tight bull pub.  Giving the best of both worlds.  It shoots off the bench great, look at "Plan B" at the EBR forth place with a Bobcat .30.  I take mine hunting all the time.

Plan B was selling that .30 last I heard too.

Good luck Joe

I've heard comments on how ugly the Bobcat is but honestly I kind of like the look of the Bobcat. I think the Wildcat may look a little better but the 30 more shots and power wheel is pretty attractive. Not sure if I would actually use it or not tho. What about repairs? I know they say the royal can be serviced in 30 mins. Does that carry over to the Bobcat? Also the Bobcat that's for sale is the condition good? Have u shot it personally?

The Bobcat and Royal are the same.  Other then the stock and Trigger linkage.  When they say 30 mins to service, not the way I work.  I like to have a cold drink and taking my time.  Wiping ever thing off and lubing it up very cleanly.  I say more like 90mins to 2hours.  But very easy!

I have not shoot the gun for sale.  Plan B who is selling sure spends a lot of time here on the GTA,  I bet you could reach out to him for some details.  I love my Bobcat,  I'll admit at first I too was not to crazy about the Bobcat in the looks department.  But after holding it, then shooting it in many different places.  I find my self perfering the look of it.
