The Sandwell Field Sports 25 Caliber Snipe Review 

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.

Jesus do Tony Walls skills as the spring airgun tuner know no bounds.What a cracking rifle and to be fair to both of you really did the gun credit with some proper tidy shooting.Most professional humane shots iv ever seen with a spring piston rifle on vermin.We need to see more of this little beauty and your good selves.Well done all the best.Big Tony

And you completely blew my mind with the pellet variation fps accuracy.... MIND BLOWN!!

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

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 ...

Thanks from across the pond for another great review.

a great video and a very fair review and all the pros and cons and the rifles speaks for its self well done a great idea for the future as I might get back into vermin control as a .25 will be on my list and will be the hw snipe and thank you for your time lads

Great vid! Impressive what we can do with a beak barrel spring gun. Keep it up!

Just ordered a .22 Snipe from Stephen based on ur reviews. It'll be ready in around 20 weeks but I can't wait...excellent shooting with a fantastic gun.

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.

Another great video. I get great enjoyment watching them all.It must take you two many hours putting these videos together and as a genuine supporter of your channel. Thank you. This is the first time I have made a comment about Vermin Hunters TV. Because I feel it is needed.As the time waster prats are getting on my nerves. Moaning about what you do. Keep doing what you do making good interesting videos. All the best Bob.

What a cracking Review Si & Davy , great shooting, I think SFS will be getting plenty of orders for this gun. atb brian pps i think i will add this to my SFS Imp in .22 cal

That pigeon heard that shot, tried to take off a micro second before it dropped him, big thumbs up. I cannot believe that thin is slinging pellets at 480fps. wow!

I suddenly got an urge to get my pcps a new spring-buddy. 😊 ❤️

Loved it. Forget those haters and keep on doing what you do.

Great 'all 'round' Air Rifle review. Thanks.

Great video! Very informative. Thanks!!

I had all pcp's. Then nothing for years. And recently bought the hw50 in 4.5mm. Put in the Maccari stuff. A Hawke 12 mag ao. LOVE IT! Now I will send my barrel to thread it for a moderator/silencer. 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

great vid chaps and what a cracking gun it dropped them woodys with top notch precision defo worth a look if you want a great gun for hunting in and around the farm yard .

I took my old BSA Super Star. 25 in for a tune this week, and SFS are doing another batch of this gun this year. so deposit paid just got to wait now and decide what scope to treat it to . It's going to be a bit of a wait but I think it will be worth it .

Brilliant. Such accuracy from a .25 ain't bad going.

Excellent shooting .great video keep it up.

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.!

Very nice review guys. An excellent 25 cal springer. I agree on it being plenty power. I still love the 1.77 cal myself, trajectory and all. The recoil is not much at all. Take care you two.

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.

Great video cheers ,so what do they do to the rifle to make it that good?

Outstanding lads. The end take - I`m still laughing 20 min`s later. atb.

Great shooting as always lads !!! You's take the time to explain everything to us mere mortals, excellent !!! I have only one question......... cost ? £ ?

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

That's one top little rifle and its banging everything down wi ease I had the 22 and loved it am just saving some penny's for a pro sport ask the wife to buy it for mi bday but no joy lol love the vid by the way top shooting lads

Great show guys!!

nice work guys

Outstanding. I need one in my life.

I fired my 40 odd year old .22 Webley Vulcan using RWS Diablo Wadcutters at about 10 yards. The pellet went through the 1/4" wood paneled garden shed door & exited cleanly through the wood back wall. OK, it's an old shed & the wood is somewhat dried out & seen better days!! Any idea of the ft/lb ??

wow guys nice video nice shutting thanks amigos

Have you tried slugs with this rifle to see how it performs?

Impressive gun (and excellent shooting). I might have missed it in the film, but is the Snipe based on a 99? The hitting power is serious - clouds of feathers when you hit the pigeons and they went straight down. Good stuff.

I'm looking at a new gamo Hunter extreme 25 cal break barrel. Too buy in New Zealand $1500 hope it's a good air rifle.

Great guys .you have made my buy guns from tony wall and go shooting a gain since 1995 last time i shot a air gun Paul Gregory

Hello Si & Davy. How fast or slow goes these pellets? 450,470 fps ?? nice shooting!!!

what scope are you using in the sniper ?

That's a lot of majic for an old one like me,wonderfull ! Be Blessed.

Fantastic. I'm. Putting. My order. In 2 day.

Love the .25 for pesting. Would like to see that on some rats! Great vid Gents!

Great job. I do like the .25! I went the other way and use the Airforce Condor in .25 great caliber and shoot at the top of the velocity range 1050 fps. It is amazing to see what you can do under 600fps. A good rifle is fun.

Hi si, do you think a hatsan dominator 200w 25 cal could achieve similar results? Great shooting btw!

Great shooting guys, nice rifle too. Do you take head shots or heart and lung most times???

Great footage and great info. Had that rifle been modified and improved by Tony Wall or was it straight out the box?

Sandwell field sportsshop what do thick about the stoeger x20s s2 air guns

Guys, thumbs up from me to ! But I´ll go for .22 , because flatter trajectory. Actually I´m a big fan of .177 !!!!!!! Weihrauch HW 77k

Hi :) I can got one of these : Cometa Compact Star 400 cal 25 it gives about 18 Fpe here in my country. What do you think of this rifle for hunting? is it any good? or do i have to buy something else? Best regards from Norway

What pellets are you using here mate

great job again just one question how much does it weigh

amazing vid. The gun could take snot off a spider. great marksmanship.

Si is the hw 95 k a good hunting rifle

How have you found and effect of wind on the .25 Si ?

great rifle lads what a vermin stopper will you guys be doing a video of the rifle shooting at max distances again cracking rifle

what you think of .20cal si great vid

hey up lads cracking gun , is there any plans for a 20 cal ??

How many fpe is that at 50 yards?

Which ha is this a hw50?

i didnt even kno anyone made sub 12 footpound in .25

How much is the snipe

What scope has Davy got on?

Cracking shooting

why not just use a heavier pellet in a 22 at the end of the day it's still sub 12 ???

just cron. beeman kodiac 25 cal 795 fps to 800fps I was shocked. I felt it would be 580 fps to 655 fps .I had 2 beeman kodiacs so I traded my frend for a vintage beeman R 9 goldfinger scoped combo.20 cal. I love my 25 cal But I do shoot my 20 cal more

Is tony still doing these if so what sort of money are they

lovely shooting in this credit where its due

PRIMOROSO BELISSIMOS SHOTS

wow

nice work can you send me a 16 Jul spring

well how much I'd it

Beast

would be a dream ratting weapon, id happily take heart and lung shots all day with .25 I might buy one.

A 12 foot pound 25 caliber🤔

Very similar to the hw95 k

I have shot the balls off a Buck ant, with out killing it, Lit red top matches without breaking them, Now I am nearly 80 years old and cannot hit a fly on a rice pudding.............Nice to watch Lads......Briddy.

si i can hear you missis in back round

my only issue is with the next video they take it ratting and stop using after a few hits due to the loopy trajectory and favour the 177. kinda already says this gun has no use in the hunting field

Do you guys have a email address?

25.cal normal price or more access weihrauch99s

One croking shot

i visited shop once, would'nt go again, and defo woul'nt buy one of their cricket bats

it's gotta be a shit house for hold over

12 ft pounds for a 25 caliber rifle is hideously Lame. WHERE'S THE BEEF?!!

so how can I buy one?
