I'd choose .22 over .25 mostly for affordability and pellet selection is much greater in .22 plus local stores will have .177 and .22 not .
Should get little extra shots per fill in .22
Sounds like...

Sorry, no experience but have read good things about the brand.
Low shot count per fill but that's a sacrifice for that much power in a small package.
I'd prefer a shoulder stock for hunting and...

Suggest you post your question at the GatewayToAirguns Forum https://www.gatewaytoairguns.org/GTA/index.php
Lots of knowledgeable folk there
From videos I've seen, looks like you can tell if the critter is behind brush. The grass I'm not as worried about shooting through.
Don't need to walk far to my set ups. Thinking having both could...
Following along. Got a OneLeaf setup not long ago. Has its limits. Without the IR lit up and a half moon or fuller and no clouds I can see farther than I'm willing to shoot but not really clearly...

Like Don said, check out the GTA site.
If not for hunting, I can't see a reason for air power over .22 cal. unless there's a longer range target sport I'm unaware of.
You'll just expend a lot more...

Agree with Don all all points but one. Those who just enjoy the tinkering can still do so with air guns. Read some of Racing's threads. WOW
It isn't casting and reloading but there's plenty to...

1000 fps is attainable but you'll be shooting slugs rather than pellets if you want MOA and that means a rifle that will shoot slugs.
If you're willing to drop the speed down some your options...

That Aselkon looks very much like a Benjamin Akela which I believe is just a bullpupped Cayden.
Have had a Cayden a few months now and aside from being HEAVY and LOUD I really like.
Maybe the Turks...

That's a nice looking springer. Try every pellet you can get in it, see what it likes.
Will it be pesting or target shooting? or both?
Forum: AirGuns
Have you experimented with the power adjust screw on the left side of the rifle? My Cayden came set at or near max. Not had time to try mine yet, Curious how much
velocity difference it can make.

Also got the 75 cu/ft 4500 psi tank and a smaller 18 cu/ft tank with compressor to keep small tank filled

Will have to retry those, they weren't in my top three...
Forum: AirGuns
Think of it this way. The PCP is already at pressure before the sear is released.
The spring piston starts building pressure when the sear is released and as the pellet goes down the barrel.
Forum: AirGuns
Still not had time to really see what my Cayden (same rifle with different air tube) likes best but the cheap Crosman pellets are
definitely in the top three so far. Wanting to find a slug it likes...

Recently got my hands on a Benjamin Cayden. I think it is essentially the same rifle as the Kratos you were looking at but with an
air tube rather than a bottle. Not had it long enough to get a good...

I think Geo nailed it with the Marauder pistol. Wouldn't think of using it as a pistol but it is an amazing carbine with the stock on it. Also very easy to fill with a hand pump.
If I were to start...

I'm one that enjoys working up a load. Doesn't matter if it's a powder burner or air power. Just enjoy the discovery of what THIS rifle shoots best.
Advantage of pellets is the lower cost so end up...

I liked what Don had done so much, I more or less copied what he did. I DID get a compressor too and got a smaller tank for fills
when I wasn't using the tether. Unfortunately my in-line regulator...

Glad it has come together for you.
The only RWS pellets I've tried are the wadcutter MeisterKlugeln sp?.
The guns that like them, really like them.
Forum: AirGuns
Pretty cool. Knocking over pop cans at 100 yards with .22 pellets is too easy and gets boring.
Forum: AirGuns
Been nice to try the JSB pellet before the modification. You know the superdomes aren't happy in it. Definetely try the Crosman pellets as Don suggested. They're inexpensive and shoot well through a...
Forum: AirGuns
I just find it easier to fill from the tank than the compressor. Filling your tank to lower pressures only downside is having to fill the tank much more often. After filling mine to 4500 and letting...

I've had same problem with my mag Camba. One thing I learned is not to cock it with the barrel pointed down. The next pellet will sometimes fall partly into the chamber then when you go to push the...
