Do you think it would be worth doing, I love my .25 Beeza, so another .25 would be fun and different.
The Webley side levers often struggle to make "full power" in the more efficient .22 calibre (even the Tracker/Viscount with its more efficient transfer port), so converting to the less efficient .25 is not a good idea.

The Vulcan on the other hand, with its easily changed barrel, is a better option. It has more swept volume, and being a breakbarrel with less energy loss than the tap loader makes it a better option.
Plus it is easy to convert back if you change your mind.
