Hi there subscribers,
All good things come to those who wait.
Here is the long awaited review of the .25 caliber Sandwell Field Sports Snipe (the Imps big brother).
We ask you, does this review blow the myth that a sub 12 foot pound .25 caliber rifle has no place in airgun hunting, and is only is good in FAC?
We will let you make up your own mind and think if what you have heard in the past is true or just another false airgun tale.
Please enjoy
Davy & S

I love how in the UK a lot has changed with Air rifle but really a lot has stayed the same . Low powered break barrel awesome shooting skills and enthusiasm . I recently purchased a UK spec .177 PCP and have enjoyed it more than my 30,40 and 60 FP monsters . Been using Springs again. As I kid I remember reading a article in Air Gun world a test on a HW35,FWB127 and a BSF 55 and I think they referred to them as magnum powered. How I longed for those rifles as a kid. Best memories

Again Si, great shot placement as always. As a "Yank", I am glad to see you, as a "Brit", shoot a 25 caliber air rifle. I'm sorry you cannot shoot, as we do in the States, with much higher powered 25 cal. air rifles, as a norm. I actually shoot the Benjamin Marauder, but have modified it quite a bit. I have affixed an FX Smooth Bore Barrel, 25 cal., and an Alturas regulator. I have it set it to 850 fps muzzle velocity. That is about 42 ft/lbs energy at the muzzle. You can calculate that it hits with 20 ft/lbs energy at 100 yards, and VERY accurately with the proper pellet for the barrel. The one thing that I must appreciate and acknowledge from the UK and Europe, is your quality of build and accuracy of your air rifles. Hat's off to all of the UK, cheers and a most excellent job, my "cousins from across the pond". If you have a chance to shoot a modified Benjamin Marauder, do it, you'll see a marked difference in accuracy from the boxed rifle, and a more flat trajectory.

I would love to see this gun smashing some rats possible future video? been tempted by this to pop over Sandwell field sports and pick one up, I had a standard 99s 10 years ago and it's a cracking gun out the box also had a 90k gas ram and been looking a the lighting grt too, I converted to pcps and although I absolutely love them I think spring guns will always be relevant due to the fact of being self contained (no need for recharging) reliable for 1000s of shots and as you show still do the job just as good as any pcp awesome video and content as ever keep up the good work

Very interesting. This would also be legal (without moderator) for the Canadian non FAC users as it is below 500 FPS. The .25 pellets hit like Thor's Hammer even at such a "low" velocity, I was frankly surprised at what it did to the rabbit you walked up to.

Great video Gents ... Got to love the 25 cal ....I wish I could have Tony work on my HW95 but I think shipping back and forth from Arizona would be a bit much ... haha .... I have an FX Independence 25 that I normally massacre everything at 30 foot pounds but you got me thinking with this video I should crank the power back and see how I do ... Plus it will be less pumping ...

A Danish brand. All metal makes it more stable. And as a cocking handle. Its becoming an "IMP" alright! Ah yes, also a barrel sling mount and buttstock one. And I am happy. Its so accurate

I do like the .25. I’ve got an old BSA Supersport in .25 but the chamber is tight for modern pellets. Lovely to shoot but not accurate. I’ve also got a 99s in .22 which is brilliant. Now a 99s in .25 looks and sounds a great idea.!

Great shooting and demonstration of the fact that in hunting caliber rules. 0.25 caliber has a heck of whack for reasonable air gun ranges even compared to 0.22. I wonder if you have any plans to let the gun loose on rats? That should be interesting. Regards, A.G

Another great special of SfS. Wish we had these "hardcore" tuners over here. I only know one in NL. But there is not as much demand for that quality tuned springers here. I guess because: we cant hunt here with airguns. Plus we have no power restrictions. So its all pcp here. And I,for one, Really like the no nonsense of using a springer. Esp. Weihrauch.

Element Customs if shooting rats in the dark with no range finding equipment it's very hard to judge the range to the rats looking through a screen. If it was day / light there would be no problems. If we used our NS laser there would be also no issues. We tell you the truth and give pros and cons. Looking at the review i think it shows its good in the field.
