Ideas for a compact rat/squirrel gun

[Daveo]

What do you fellas think to this.......

I thinking about a compact .22 or .25 springer for hunting, I like the simplicity of picking up a Springer and going out shooting without worrying about low air
I only use air power when I'm shooting in woods now so I can shoot up into trees
It's mainly squirrels and rats with the odd bonus woody.
As I'm sitting weight isn't an issue.
I've got a beauty AA prosport in .177 but I'd prefer .22/.25 for this kind of shooting.
Looks fairly easy to re barrel a prosport compared to most guns?
I'm not a big fan of most Spring guns, I want something heavy and robust and well made
I don't like the smaller HWs , 99,98,95s
I do like the 80 but the stock design is dated
Walther lgu/lgv look interesting but it's not available in .25
I don't really want to get rid of the pro-sport, we have been on journey together
Has anyone rebarreled a prosport in .25? That might be cool??
Has Anyone got or made the gun I'm describing or am I on my own with this line of thinking?

Fluffy on here re barrelled a TX200HC into a .25.

Pretty much the same gun so it can be done.

Not seen him on here in a while.

But if you want .22 just trade the .177 in for a new .22 pro sport.

Just look out for a 2nd hand 80 in a cs500 stock, be a shame to muck about with the prosport, arb Daz

Theoben Fenman is about the shortest break barrel with a silencer fitted out of the factory.

I'm not a fan of 'rammers but that's the silhouette of the gun I have in mind

Yeah that would be the sensible thing to do..
Then I'll HAVE to have a peek inside the gun.
Then it'll HAVE to have a new Spring and guide and set back trigger blade the list goes on
But the pro sport is sorted, it shoots spot on
And I'll be able to soften it up even more because I recon a .25 would be more efficient.
But Blackpool air guns have a pretty tasty looking v-mach'ed 80 in in .25 sat in a fancy stock......
Hmmmmm
