Hey everyone,

With all of the recent discussion over .25 Caliber(s) I decided to pull out my small collection, to conduct a little Function Fire, since I haven't played with them for many, many months (Seals working properly Sights on ?)


1. Mountain Air .25 cal Pump Pistol
2. Mountain Air .25 cal co2 Carbine
3. Theoben Eliminator .25 cal

After we cleaned up from my clubs monthly " Smallbore Match ", I was planning on doing a little Target work, but it got a little toooo late in the day.


So, I decided to set-up my " Bunny Rabbit " (Bowling Pin) under the 35 Yard Gong.

No problems with function, now on to scrubbing out the barrels with some " JB " & a little Oil for the Seals!

Nice range, good place for a little "Field Target" .. "Hunter Field Target" or "Silhouette" competition. Most everybody has an airgun and an informal comp is good fun.

Well, your right.. However, not enough interest.

The Club did offer a ( Smallbore ) " Silhouette Match ", unfortunately it was cancelled due to " Low Attendance ".
I was trying to start-up an " Adult Smallbore 50 yd/50 meter Match ", with some hopes on renewing interest with a " Silhouette "..

But again, there was " NO Interest ". After one full year of trying to promote the event (monthly Match ) , I decided to cancel the Match.

Hi Guys,

Just finished cleaning up my " Air Rifles "

1. Neco # 800 (Fine)
2. .22 cal Brass Bore Jag
3. Cotton 7mm-38 cal Bore Patches

Wrap cotton patches around " Jag " & coat with " Neco # 800 Grit/ paste " (or JB Cleaner). After using several coated patches, I wiped the bore out with some clean patches soaked in " Kriol " & finished with " Rem oil ". I'll wipe them out again, with a bit of " Denatured Alcohol ", before shooting them.

I posted a bit more info on the " Gun Cleaning Forum " , if anyone is intereted.

Hey all,

I'm just getting my things together for another range session. I ordered a few new lighter .25 Caliber Pellets " (H&N/Gamo), to tryout in my " Rifles "., in particular with my two " Mountain Air .25 cal ", since they both are at the lower " FPS " level. I was also a bit disappointed with the " Original Advertised " velocity of my " Theoben ".. I did my own a test (4/8/07) & found it to be approx " 100-150 FPS " lower, than advertised. I recenly found a " Real World Test " comparison on line, which helped confirm, the accuracy/integrity of my test results!

My test Posted 4/8/2007 :
