Self-Loading Sidewinder Mini vs Pumpkins

[MountainSportAirguns]

We headed out to the range to do a little pumpkin carving with the New Western Airguns Sidewinder Mini. This came to us in .25 caliber and is currently configured to just under 60 fpe, a bit of power for sure. We brought a very special guest to join for this one, it was a bunch of fun and I hope some might enjoy it. I do plan to get out soon for a tree squirrel hunt and will be doing a detailed review of this awesome little gun.

I love dead simple, reliable, manual guns, mostly out of worrying about all the things that could go wrong, but, if I were to forget all that I would get one of these in .22 in a heartbeat. I will be watching the classifieds for one of these here on out.

One of these, with a wood stock, just popped up in the AGN classifieds for $2400 w/a Leupold scope. More than I would pay right now, and I don't need the scope, but they will come down eventually.

I saw that one and had thoughts myself! Was a nice looking setup

I think they are a functional setup, especially now with the removable magazine, but man are they ugly to look at! Fortunately for me, I don't care too much about that, if they perform otherwise. This gun seems to do that in spades, and not at a huge size.

If that top pic rail was closer to the cheek weld height I think it would make them a bit easier on the eyes, that ugly hump in the middle turns me off too haha.

I like how you guys are talking about a man's gun like he's not even here.

Has this been confirmed? This platform is not left handed friendly?
