Anyone with a R7 or R9 in 22cal?

I heard those are very quiet.

I would strongly recommend the R9 for 20 and 22, but not the R7, the trajectory will be poor and hit ratio, etc. may be very low.

The 177 is what's most preferred per many R7 enthusiast.

I’ve got a Weihrauch HW95 .22, pretty much the same gun as the R9. Mine is the field pro model. I shoot mine in the basement and I don’t think it’s too loud but I’m also new to springers. It’s not tuned so I think the noise level could be brought down. Right now the noise is more of a “twang” than anything else. I also have a Weihrauch HW50s .22 and a Beeman R7 .177. The HW95 is the loudest of the 3 but still a sweet shooter.

I have one. It's fairly quiet - hard to compare it to something. Obviously it is noisier than my R7 but still quite enough to shoot in the back yard. About like my Benjamin pumped up 8 or 9 times. A little different sound though. Straightshooters.com used to have a comparison spread sheet.

Actually been thinking about selling my R9, let me know if you are interested.

I have only a couple of PCPs in 25 cal but they hit like the hammer of Thor compared to the one 22 cal in a PCP. I'm seeing no problem with the idea of a 25 cal in a springer. Wish I had one to try out. My PCPs had to have a DonnyFL moderator on each to get them backyard friendly. Don't think it necessary in a springer. I would like to have an R9 in 25. Be Well, RZ.

Have been thinking about this. I believe a springer would be great in 25. You would have to learn your trajectory. Maybe get some numbers from a LabRadar and make up a dope card then use a Laser range finder to get sniper like action on crows or doves if legal. Sounds like fun. Be Well, RZ.
