First PCP I want a .25 but which one? One with serious power...

[chancers]

Currently my modded 25 caliber condor shoots the 71 grain 7 ring slugs around 112 fpe.  At one point, I had it shooting close to 119 fpe.  With the shroud, it's quieter than my stock 25 MRod.  But, the problem is that I have consistency issues with the rifle.  I don't believe the condor was built to shoot 100 fpe (frame flex, hammer chatter, and variances with frame diameters).

However, as soon as it is my turn, Dyotat will be custom making a new valve, 1 piece bushing, and new shroud.  A new heavier hammer spring will be added too (in addition to a 101 gram custom barrel riding hammer).  Hunter long Maddog stock should help with frame flex. LW barrel was dechoked too.

The goal is to have the rifle shooting the 71 grain slugs (accurately) at least 950 fps or just over 140 fpe (quiet and backyard friendly too). We'll see how this works.  If not, I'll retire it (and use it to shoot JSB Kings) and pick up a 9mm Korean rifle (maybe Evanix Giant? Windy City or RS II) with a shroud/LDC.   Man, this stuff is addicting...

Maybe I had a bad one, but the .25 MRod I just sent back was pretty accurate at 35 yards.  100 yards, not so much.  I have heard that they have amazing accuracy, just wasn't my experience.

I can tell you that the .22 Hatsan Sniper 125 I had was dead accurate at 100 yards.  I mean every time accurate, not bad for a springer.

with Power comes noise, mass produced PCPs that aren't shrouded come with a threaded barrel, so you can get some of the Neil Clauge magic

My Sumatras aren't that much noisier than a springer when they wear Neil Clauge

Oak,

The Hatsan I had was a springer, and it was pretty quite.  I have heard that the PCP Hatsan BT56 is very loud, one of the loudest you can get.  My RS2 will be here in the morning.  I should have some sound for you tomorrow night.

I will clean it up good and then shoot it. 

[Nomadic Pirate]

looking forward to your thoughts on the .25 BullPup

Me as well looking foward to a HaPpY Powell

At this point I have never shot my springers farther then 60 feet so I don't know what to expect at 300 feet.

I just put 400 pellets through my 25 BT65 and for some reason it does not seem as loud? In fact I just fired it and my Hammerli Titan 177 and the titan is louder. I added the air stripper. Maybe its not as loud to me firing it but the business end is still loud? IDK

If you must have the most powerfull pcp 25 Caliber, then i vote for a hatsan bt65 with valnut stock
In FAC you maby got 25 shot out of a full tank but its very powerfull
