What .22cal PCPs can achieve 45FPE?

[JungleShooter]

What .22cal PCPs can achieve 45FPE (without modding — only by HST and REG setting)?

I just have gotten off one of those chats I have rather frequently — where people ask me for airgun and scope advice....

I told the guy, if he wanted to stick with
.22cal, and shoot
pellets at
longer ranges, then the
JSB Monster Redesigned in 25.39gr would be a good candidate.

And then I drew a blank:
Which .22cal guns achieve 45FPE (to get the MRD to at least 900fps MV, without drilling, boring, or parts changing)?


I'm particularly interested in the following brands:
▪︎ Snowpeak
▪︎ AirVenturi (= also: Nova Vista)
▪︎ Stoeger
▪︎ Hatsan
▪︎ Reximex
▪︎ and any other brand, really


Thanks,

Matthias

Get an AvengeXL from Air Venturi. JSB Monster 25.39 shooting at 945 fps is 50 fpe. You may have to turn in down from out of the box to get these numbers.

Does it need to be regulated? If not, the AF Condor can easily hit 45 FPE.

My 500 mm drs tactical gets 44-45 fpe with the 700 im getting 75 i think

Huben GK1 .22 pistol can hit 70+ fpe

AirForce EscapeSS, Escape, Condor, EscapeUL.

Only a good idea to do that if you already own a .22 that will shoot those well. If not, it would be better to buy a .25 because they are made to shoot the 25.39 grain pellets and do it well. Lots .22s will have the power but not many will group them well. They were made for a 13-18 grain pellet. That would not be an issue with a .25. The .22 pellet is only $1 cheaper for 350 pellets, it's just better to get the gun that is made for them. I can shoot 40 grains easily from my .22 Condor, but my .30 barrel does it much better because it is made to do it.

Thank you all for contributing to my list of 45FPE .22cal guns!

You're helping those who come for help to me....


Hvacguy asked if it needed to be regulated. My preference is for reg. — but I can see a gun without reg. performing well enough at longer ranges, as long as the shooter keeps within the pre-tested tank pressure band.

I'm quite sure there are more guns with 45FPE potential in .22cal.

I just checked my records —
and here are the RTI-published power graphs for the Prophet P2 (the P3 should reach and possibly exceed these). Cf. below — even the compact model easily gets to 45FPE and exceeds that....
