Original 25

[harrishawk01 0]

Hi All,

 

First post so please be kind to me LOl.

 

I have an Original 25 .177

 

Is it worth investing in a service for it or buy something newer? I have had it since being a teen and that was some nearly 20 years ago.

Or is it only any good for knocking over cans with the stock in the back garden?

 

Many thanks

Mark

After 20 years it doesn't owe you much, so I would just keep it and have a plink with it occasionally. There were 3 models, the 25, 25D and 25DS. One had a target grade trigger, but I can't recall the other differences. Priced between £40 and £50, they were generally regarded (like my ancient Meteor) as a "lad's gun", being lowish powered and not too large. I will never part with the Meteor, it was the first brand new rifle I had, and it still shoots well, even if only fun plinking. Stay with the 25 and get something newer and more powerful for any serious shooting you may want to do.
