Good luck anyway.
They look exactly the same Nick.
Until you look down the (safe) end of the barrel.

My 77k .25 is ...
Easy to cock
Ambi
Accurate
The most fun single shot air rifle I own.

Stick to H&N ftt and do not be tempted by shiny 25- 30 grain pellets.

Put 10 tin cans at 30 yards on a crisp autumn morning and relieve Brexit stress.

Open sights mind you!
