@Benjamin-nm4jd Mahalo for your kind words! Your comment really makes my day. No problem. I hope to keep making videos that you like to see. Stay awesome! Take care, aloha.
very cool. Such a bad ass gun I am looking to grab one but I can't decide between the .25 and .30. I really like the couple extra shots in the .25 magazine vs the .30 but I can't seem to steer away from the idea of larger slugs.. even if I'm sacrificing some velocity. curious if you have any regrets on picking up the .30 over the .25. Same question for grabbing the compact over the regular size barrel. Thanks
It is a pretty awesome airgun! It ultimately depends on your intentions with it. I got this to eliminate nuisance pigs in neighborhoods. Because of this, the power is set pretty high, and thus it's louder. Further compounding the high sound is the inability to use larger moderators due to the air cylinder directly underneath the end of the barrel. The full-sized sidewinder does not have a limitation on moderator size. So you can imagine because of the power and sound, this .30 is not backyard friendly and so it isn't used as often as my other .25 airguns. It only comes out when we go up the mountain or to the pasture, where we can check zero and play with it without botherin anyone. There are times I do wish I had gotten the full-size sidewinder, but this is smaller, lighter, and more compact, so it's easier to maneuver in backyards while chasing down pigs. I may eventually size down to either a .25 or .22, so I can take it with me to eradicate the invasive parakeets here too. So, to me, the pros of this airgun outweigh the cons. Whatever you ultimately decide on, I'm sure you will be happy with this airgun. Mahalo for watching and commenting. Take care, aloha!
@alexgarcia3900 Mahalo for your kind words. I'm glad it was useful to you or enjoyable to you. We're on Kauai, the "Lilo and Stitch" island. Mahalo again, take care, aloha.
@rolis.j at the current stock regulator setting and the power knob 3 down from max, I can get 3 full magazines(36 rounds) and still be above the regulator. I'm not sure it the .30 compact can get that high due to the shorter barrel. It depends on what you want out of it, if you want more power for with the .30, if you want more shots, the .25 would be a better choice. Also, the .30 is loud as it is. I could turn it down to make it quiet but that would defeat the purpose of a .30. Hope this helps. Mahalo for watching, take care, aloha.
Actually useful info with no fluff. Thanks you!
