[darran77]

Might be a silly question but does AA do a .20 cal pcp rifle ? .

No they don't, a few people have converted single shot's to .20 but there are no official factory rifles.

Shame, I have a Rapid in .20 and it's deadly.

in all of my years shooting, i have never come across anyone who has owned or knows someone who owns a .20 cal. if they are not that popular, i can't see AA producing one. they could take a chance, and promote it, hope it sells, but i dont think it will happen.
i have nothing against the calibre, and if people wish to own one and enjoy it, then good, but i feel its not popular for a reason. either people dont want it, or they dont have the opportunity to own one.

Gary, it's a good calibre, plenty of Rapids and Daystates are .20. For me it gives almost .177 trajectory with .22 hitting power. JSB and AA make .20 pellets. For AA it's possibly the production costs over the sales that prevent production as with BSA.

i was not saying it was a poor calibre, as i have stated never come across one or known anyone who has. on that basis i am not qualified to comment on its merits or negatives. i was just making the point that its un popular. some reason which goes back many years, has settled on .177 and .22 being the popular calibres in UK. i have heard the arguments about the points you put across, but feel that AA are not likely to produce one, unless it suddenly becomes a popular bore size. a lot of R&D would be required for little sales, unless the public starts demand for it.

.20 will never be popular because it doesn't have the flat trajectory of the .177 or the hitting power of the .22.
There are also far fewer pellets brands to select from.

It's the calibre for those who can't make their minds up

I don't know what to say to that, but then again.... I might, oh I don't know!

never looked at it from that point of view Ray, people seem to THINK it`s the best of both but ultimately, it has the advantages of neither,
quite fancied trying one out as I never use 177 for hunting, oh god, I`ll never sleep now!

why have anything els when you can have a .177
