Dang Taz... just thinkin' bout the glass you have on all those suckers, makes the decimal place shift way over!! I'm a hawke fanboy... got used to using their Chair Gun Pro ballistics program specifically for air guns. Plus, their scopes are all springer rated!!

Anybody have experience with this one.

I've got the Hatsan Carnivore 135, it's a bad*** breakbarrel in .25 cal. (It also comes in .30) I've killed coons out to 35 yds, it's advertised to get 900 fps last most I've talked get 850-875. Its major drawbacks are weight sucker weighs a ton and finding a good scope that will hold zero, being a heavy duty "springer" it has heavy duty shock and recoil.

What scope did you end up going with for that rifle? I think a .30cal would be awesome. Only thing is it's a single shot. Those repeaters are pretty sweet.

The Seneca Aspen is pretty interesting.

I have shot one at the 2019 Texas Airgun Show in June. Was not impressed at all. Too many issues with them still. Don’t know if they have even been put on the market yet.
I will stick with my Texans for now. They are a very proven platform. If I get the money together one of these days I will get a PPBA. They are made in the Caddo Mills area if I remember right.

Still on the hunt, I've read a few reviews but most of the time somewhere in there I find out their test guns were all pcp', the very few I've found dealing with break-barrel guns are very vague at best.

Take a serious look at Hawke Sport Optics scopes. All their scopes are springer rated plus they have a free app you can use on your laptop and your smart phone that is a ballistics app specifically designed for air guns. You can plug in your gun and pellet's ballistic data and then pick the reticle you have and scope and it's a very accurate doping card for your specific set up. The app is free. It's called Chair Gun Pro.

I have a 3-9X44 Hawke on a Beaman R1 and those suckers are notorious for destroying scopes... It's been flawless for several years now. If you have an 11mm groved receiver, you'll need a scope stop to keep the scope from sliding back after several shots. The Hawke handles the reverse recoil and the scope stop just fine.

Is there one capable of shooting shotshells?

It wont be long and the neighbors are gonna be calling in on the late night .22LR rat shot in the chicken coop every night

Thanks for the info, scrolling over that way now!

.30 cal
44.75 grain pellet @ 25 yards.
~815 fps

Recovered the pellet underneath hide behind the jaw. He didn't even twitch just went stiff as a board.

Great way to start the day.

Using the new JSB Hades hunting pellets in .25 this morning:



Resulted in a delicious BBQ lunch:



Launch platform was a pair of FX Wildcats in .25.

That looks dang good Stu.

My Wildcat mk2 has been a pleasure to shoot.

The TexanSS .457 barks (softly) again. Nothing says late doe season like a .250 grain hollow point below the ear.

She was one of the biggest does I have ever taken. I'm a husky buck at 5'11" and 240 lbs. Not bad for Llano County.
