Hi Myson, not been on here a few days. My rifles a Hatsan 125 'vortex' .25 quoted as about 29fpe with a 26gr slug. I've done a bunny and rat, and yup it does the job

many firearms uses just get how effective an accurate airgun can be,i was the same til bout 16/17 years ago when got back into airguns after never using one for over 40 years these days i rarely use a rimfire for small game hunting and havnt really missed the firearms i find i can do pretty much every thing i used to do with a 22rimfire just as effectivly with the airguns i have,i can allso safely use the airguns where i would never consider using any firearm purely on safety reasons,the end result of that has been its opened up a lot more hunting areas for me that had allways been closed or off limits if using firearms,i dropped a large male fox with a 22 cal springer doing bout 16fpe at muzzle with 16 gr pellets at close to 30 yds with one shot to the head,just dropped on spot and never evan twitched on my cousins farm in aussie few years back and have shot several more since with same rifle over the years,have shot several medium sized goats with one head shoot using my 35fpe bsa pcp rifle around here over the years using 21.14 gr pellets,so dont believe airguns are not effective with well placed pellet eh!!
cheers mike

Bought the Sig .177 ASP20 last March. I found it as accurate as my fixed barrels, managed to get the matching Whiskey3 ASP scope and have installed it using a SportsMatch dampa mount.
I have since purchased the .22 ASP20 and it is just as accurate, this is fitted with a Panamax 3-9x40AO as the Sig ASP scope has been discontinued. Both have >2000 pellets and are regularly used for pest control including possum and rabbit. Happy to add photos and reviews if there is any interest. cheers

Thanks Mercs.
Good to hear others are finding the SIG so accurate and grunty too! If only the trigger were smoother - it's very OK but once you've experienced the HW97 trigger, nothing seems to match it! I'm about to setup my ballistics chart from 10yds - 100yds this holiday (with zero at 50yds) at x16 magnification.... can't wait! Have a super Christmas y'all!!!

How did you get on with your ballistics setup.
My .177 ASP20 appears to have a very flat trajectory out at 40 yards only requiring 1/2 mil-dot of holdover. The Whisky3 scope eventually failed so has been swapped out for a Stealth 4-12x40 which is working well but lacks the adjustable objective so I am having to adapt. Stealth optic has 10 year warranty and at $200 I will give them a chance.

Yea. 177 @ that power is a laser beam.
My .22, 18 grn @ 908 fps has a hold under of approx 25 mm at 25m, for a zero at 50m, so pretty flat and good for bunnies. |

hello stranger,havnt seen you around for while mate,you right bout hi vel 177 with right pellet being a laser the old lonestar set up with 10.34 barracdas at 980fps shoots so flat it a laser for sure,it will reach out on calm day out to 100yds and has taken quite few maggies out to 100 now most being around 80 but thats long way for a little 177 for sure.
