One single model of a Gamo .25 calibre is available here. medium power, not magnum.

Should I buy it to add to the collection ? Whats the opinion ? Gamo Hunter pellets in .25 calibre are available here.

Why is this post in the "Arms Laws" section? Are you trying to check the legality of owning a .25 calibre air-rifle in India? Because your post seems to indicate that you are just asking for general opinions on the rifle...

Please clarify, if the former then I'll leave the thread here; if the latter it will be moved to the Airguns section...

Cheers!

Hi Shahid,

Any possibility to check if those .25 cal.pellets still available? Have a friend who owns a Webley Patriot which has been lying unused for more than a year due no pellets!

Many Thanks

Try these folks. They have the .25 pellets. If they can't send them to you and it is not illegal to send them to India we will find a way to get them there. The way I found them was to use Google and type in air rifle pellets.

Hey thanks Joe,

About importing them...maybe only as accompanied baggage,I dont think courrier or post would be a good option,as we are only allowed .177 cal.
Maybe other members could enlighten us!

regards

One cannot import pellets, whatever the calibre, via post or courier. They have to be brought back as part of one's luggage.

Importing more AIr RIfles - first lets get this Diana 35 out. I do have the Bihar RIfle association card with me now.

If my Diana 35 is still there I'll get it out and then consider bringing in more rifles.
