I understand that FPS does not equate to better or worse range, but the reason I wanted the higher fps was that it shot a little harder, and coupled with .28 or .3's (which is what I intended to use with the SR-25 anyway, no reason to skimp on low weight ammo) would give ideal performance. The barrel was going to be one of the first things I upgraded, although I had forgotten about the bucking as well. Thanks for that. Firefly is a common one I hear. Concerning the barrel, 6.02 would be the smallest I'd go.The hop up itself is basically just icing on the cake, if it needs it. If i find the hop up is lacking, I'm going to replace it as quickly as I can.
It's going to be a purely outdoor rifle, so I didn't want to be spending money on a more powerful spring, and any other parts to beef up the gear box just to handle it, to make it outdoor ready. I know range is primarily affected by the ammo weight, quality, hop up adjustment, and barrel. the fps is just the power that drives it home. But why use a lower power that costs more when I can buy a cheaper rifle that is outdoor ready? It seems to have great reviews, so I can't see it having a ton of problems.
