What is the difference between the .22 mag series and the Simmons 8 point? Any quality or durability difference?

I have both. Same scope. 22 Mag has parallax set to 50yds (typical rimfire range) and the 8 Point to 100yds (typical centerfire hunting range)

I have both types and the Cold Steel .62 seems to be easier to use. The .40 is ok in the house but the .62 really shine outdoors, that's where you'll see the difference. Buy the Cold Steel you won't be disappointed.

I have not seen the Simmons. I am very pleased with my Celestron up thru 40X or maybe 45X. Above that, the optics are not as clear, and detail is not much more visible, even though the image is larger. Most of my useage is 1.5-2 miles looting at wildlife. At shorter ranges, the higher magnification would probably be adequate as well, that's just not what I use it for. Moon shots are impressive!

I have never owned that gun, but the mag is pretty universal for the guns I have seen. I would go for it

You are better with the 22 caliber. This is an excellent product. Two of my friends have purchased the air rifle after using mine.

I ordered both and the only difference I have found is the SM4B has cheaper packaging. The SM4B comes with a simple cardboard backed print package, covered in a stiff plastic, glued to the cardboard. The M4B comes with a nicer black cardboard box. The Pens themselves are identical as far as I can tell. Both are metal construction with nice clips in matte black.

I carry this gun as a duty weapon. I have had it for 8 years and only had 1 jam at the range due to cheap ammo.i have the 40 gve and love it.

I have only used hollow point .22LR with this. I have not had any problems doing so.

If I remember correct the M-223 is higher quality. I found most answers at the manufacturer website. I really like my M-223.

The difference between the BK-22 and the BK-2 is the sheath. The BK-22 has a nylon sheath which is an amazing upgrade from the BK-2's sheath. I would opt for the BK-22 because the sheath is better by a 100%. Since I have both knives, I have noticed the the BK-2's sheath dull's the blade after a while and the sheath is actually a pain in the posterior when the blade is not in it. It bangs around like crazy and get annoying after a while. I hope that helps ;)

The cliff notes version is that the "P" is for more carbine- type applications. Faster handling, etc... The "M" is geared more towards longer barreled, acquire at a distance shooting. I think if you look at the dimensions it'll be a little more self explanatory.

im not sure about the power difference between the .22 and .177, it must be because the mass is greater with the .22. The .22 shoots through 2 layers of dry wall, so i guess its powerful for an air gun.

I never had the opportunity to shoot the .25 but with the .22 I killed 3 squirrels with single shots to the chest with 14.3 grain crosman premier hollow points. For coons I would probably go with 18 grain JSB.

.22 is slower but hits a lot harder. You will need to fire hundreds of rounds to break in the rifle & temperature has an impact on groupings.i.e. sighting in the rifle @ 80 degrees F will not yield the same group as shooting when it's 40 degrees F.

This hits hard. 50-60 yards consistent. Depending on ammo you can get about 1300 fps with the high velocity pellets. I shoot the heavier lead that runs about 900-950 subsonic but it is way more accurate and packs a punch. Most 22lr rounds are 1250fps but would carry lead further out. It will shoot the 100yds no problem but accuracy just will not be there. I have a ruger .177 that doesn't shoot as fast as this one and they are both way more than the daisy 10 pumps of old

My 1200fps rifle slaps these through some metals and yes to take down even several small game....birds nearly explode unless they are a turkey. The truth behind the bullet is the gun though. I've used dozens of different pellets in pistols and rifles for over 20 years and must say a rifle that pushes a pellet at 1200fps will do just as a black powder .22 rifle on a standard load. A 40g .22 pistol round is standard at 900fps...hunting rounds at 1250fps ... so the air rifle technology makes shooting the .22 pellets cheaper and gives me more range time with the kids.

Google reviews -- a lot have shown up on B&H's Website, and some even include full comparisons of the 10-18 vs the 10-22. Based on the reviews I've read, there's less barrel distortion and higher IQ with the 10-18mm in comparison to the 10-22mm (and at half the price).
