SA1Gunner 0 Posted September 25, 2008 Report Share Posted September 25, 2008 Do you own a XL tactical in both calibres, if so, which one do you prefer to use on rabbits, squirells, wood pigeon and other vermin. I am going to buy one of these rifles and intend to gas ram it. Quote Link to post
shaun sale 0 Posted September 26, 2008 Report Share Posted September 26, 2008 i like it in 25 cal mate people dont like the cal but i think its great you do have to put in abit off practice paper punching like with any gun but i would recomend if you can try 1 do. .alot of people seem to aslo think that you have to almost be on top off your quarry to hit with 25 i found this not to be true i can easly hunt to 25 yards with it .i dont go past that mind you but it makes you brush up on your felid craft in my opinion haveing to get that close.hope this helps.

SA1Gunner 0 Posted September 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2008 Cheers for the input Shaun. I am learning towards a .177 because I can use it for a bit of target shooting and I can also use it for a bit of hunting. Quote Link to post
Freddy Watts 1 Posted September 26, 2008 Report Share Posted September 26, 2008 I have always leant towards 22 as i never thought 177 had enough stopping power for a rabbit. But I must say I have heard alot of good things about the 177 and people don't seem to have many problems getting the bunnies with it. So 177 seems a good choice for an all rounder which seems to be what you are after. Quote Link to post
