So our own ratsniper started a project to build the most powerfull multishot pump air rifle in the world.
This is the 25cal version there is a 35 cal as well.
So far I have taken 2 grays and a racoon all one shot kills.
This squirrle was taken at 25 yards I shot through the ear!
No more worrying about running out of air. Hunting for me just got a lot better! I get 3 full power shots then pump back up.

I guess I hadn't seen the thread on those in so long I'd forgotten about them, glad you love the gun. Wish that I'd of had the spare cash to have put an order in for one. The finished rifle looks really nice. Haven't seen any new posts on this rifle on the dark side yet, maybe someone will post some groups and stats. Hint

Great looking pumper .

First group at 50 yards with no pumping between shots.

This is 3 shots at 25 yards.

This gun is shooting about 850fps with 25.4gr jsb kings

That is a beauty! Nice shooting also. Im surprised there was anything left of the head with a 25 cal hitting it.

MoonrakerXT · « **Reply #11 on:** November 07, 2015, 01:52:14 PM »

Very nice shooting. That 50 yd group is impressive!

Here is the exit

.25 is perfect for squirrel... I use my 9mm Cricket and does just fine,,, one 9mm hole in and one 9mm hole out. As long as it is not Hollow point over 1000 FPS it works fine.
Just use round nose bullet or pellet and it wont hurt anything...as far as the meat is concerned.

Videos of me shooting Squirrels with my 9mm Cricket...

.25 on squirrel gives you the opportunity for body shots that with my .22 cal fx would have been a very slow kill and i would possibly lose the squirrel. With my .25 I lose fery little meat but get fast kills and more options for the shots I can take.
This year at my house I shot over 40 squirrls ground squirrls and grays. I used .177 .22 and .25 with .177 you have to take really good shots with .22 you have more options with .25 you basically need to center the furr ball in the scope. My furthest shot was 110yards at that range the .25 is a lot better choice. Lots of shots at 50 to 75 yards as well.

Beautiful rifle and good shooting. I think that .25 is just the pill for those squirrels. The .308 might be a bit much.

jvanschoonhoven · « **Reply #18 on:** November 07, 2015, 08:46:38 PM »

Yea the 308 was when i was backpack hunting deer and I wanted to know if i had to if i could shoot a squirrel with my deer rifle for food without ruining all the meat and if you actually look close at the photos i didn't lose much meat. I definitely cooked that guy up and had squirrel and mountain house that night

Oh, for sure you could eat that squirrel. You lost ribs and spine... Mostly bones.
