I’ve been looking over the Hatsan rifles that weigh a more normal weight (6-7 lbs) and seeing the low velocities for lead pellets I’ve wondered if the .25 cal, though claims to hit a little harder, isn’t an extremely short range caliber and not worth considering over the .22 cal for small game critters.
I lean towards a .22 anyway because of the variety of pellet options (domes and wadcutters for me) and the cheaper cost, but having such a low velocity makes me think the .22 would have much superior range. Should I rethink the .25 cal? The rifle is half off…
