    All been said, down to weight and size.

    I've four 80's, two 95's and an 98 all in various guises. I like them all. They are all capable of customizing, all are very well made and have that great Rekkord trigger.

    Its all down to you I'm afraid !

    Like them all (and the HW77 as it has open sights ) would love an HW80 in .25!

    Even better if it's pushing them out at 800fps!

    Is it capable of that much, say with Milbro Rhino's (19grn?) that would be what....27ft/lbs?

    It's designed to run 20+ in .22. I don't see 26-27 being out of reach in .25 if tuned nicely. Almost worth getting a variation except for the weight. Good power and accuracy without the limitations of pcp!

    Well recommended !

    Nice one mate my next rifle will definitely be in .25 not sure what though but I would love an HW80. I also saw a HW90, Sharp Innova and Stealth in .25 and I know there are a few BSA models to be had.

    I've got a twenty plus year old BSA Supersport in .25. Always the first gun I reach for!

    Early HW80 a better built gun...the new stocks are cheap and thin.

    BSA seem to do a lot of their models in .25 ive seen Spitfires and Lightnings in .25 too. I think my biggest mistake was when i got my Career 707 in .22 , nothing wrong with .22 of course, I just always wished I had waited until a .25 came up

    There's even an Innova in .30 calibre. I know because I have one

    What brand of pellets do you prefer to put through it Lionel?

    a .30 Innova has to be capable of 26 ft lb easily

    I have seen .22 at 18 ft lb



    Oh and my recently acquired .25 HW90 is fast becoming a favourite. Ratting Spectacular
    Opportunity is missed by most people, because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work.

    Why would you have a 12ft lb 80, rather than a 95

    Obviously the 80 is a classic and weighs more, excluding that I would guess the 95 is a better option as 95 has quicker lock time and is lighter... It also appears that some tunned 80s have sleeved cylinders effectively making them 95s internally. I'm new to the concept of tunning but reading other threads it suggests that's the case. Unless someone tells me otherwise
