Marauder?
Air Force Talon Pistol?
Any other suggestions? Because I am new to this PCP. Some one said Rainstorm upon investigation it comes in .177 an .22 and I want a bigger gun.

Thanks
Oaks

I like the .25 Cal MROD. It is quiet, affordable, extremely accurate and easy to fill. The only cons I know of is the the weight and it is a bit old fashion looking for my taste. I do not regret in any way buying it !!

Few more questions.

1. How important is the noise level?
2. Cost?
3. How is it going to get filled (can make this part of #2 as well).
4. Repeater or single shot?
5. Wood or plastic?

I have only admired them, but The Rainstorm II also has .25 cal and 9mm options, at least according to PA's website.

I love my Sumatra .25 carbine. Not quiet without adding something on though.

You might also consider a Hatsan AT44-10 or BT-65 if noise is not an issue.... I have an AT44-S10 Long that is currently tuned for 22 shots at 53 FPE with JSB Kings.... I was able to achieve nearly 70 FPE with EunJins, but only 14 shots.... Stock, the gun shot 25 shots at 41 FPE with the Kings.... all strings within 4% ES....

Rainstorm II comes in .25, way more powerful than a Maurader
Sumatra .25, even the super light short Carbine version is a 70-80 FPE gun

Thanks! I have much too consider! But all this is helping me.

Ok I will bite... How is the RS II "WAY MORE" powerful than a Madauder? Also is it quiet?

My Rainstorm .22 was more powerfull than my Maurader .25

You can go up and down a bit but this are the the powers you get from stock guns.

Maurader 45 FPE
Rainstorm 60 FPE

Maurader is more quiet, but the Rainstorm is way lighter and shorter, so you can ad a Neil Clauge LDC, and he makes them that they slip over the shroud so you get full effect but keep the gun short, very, very efficient.

Rainstorm gets more shots too, bigger air reservoir

You can probably Tune a Rainstorm .25 to shoot the 50gr Bullets at 100 FPE and keep a decent shot count

It's the same exact platform off the Rainstorm .357 so you know the capability is there if you ever want it

If you wait a few months Air Force is coming out with there new Air Force condor ss . From what I hear it is quiet , accurate , and very powerful. It comes in .177 , .20 , .22 , .25 calibers . It also has an upgraded trigger on it . The trigger was redesigned . It has a shroud on barrel which makes it quiet . . It's a single shot air rifle . You can interchange barrels if you buy different caliber barrels for that air rifle .it is also made in the good ole USA !

What's the price range on the NEW AF?

PackingHeat · « **Reply #16 on:** March 03, 2013, 10:41:31 PM »

The Airforce Condor SS is coming out at the end of the month. It is at the top of my list. Power and stealth.

rld1965 · « **Reply #17 on:** March 04, 2013, 02:44:38 AM »

i was told around the same price as the current air force condor around 700.00 just for the gun . then you have your add ons to buy . from what i read this new air force condor ss is an improvement of the current condor . a shrouded barrel and a much better trigger system .i am glad i waited to buy a new air force condor this past year because i would of been really upset with myself if i bought the current condor and then finding out a better condor is available in the condor ss. this new air force condor ss is also on my list, or the rainstorm 2. i am looking at getting a .25 cal .

Don't think the serious power requirement will be met by that gun, .....nice gun for sure just not one of the monsters
