My top 4 2025 picks for small game

[MountainSportAirguns]

This year I have been busy, spending more time on the road than I'm home. Part of that is documenting my experience with many different brands and styles of Airguns. In this video I show 4 of my top-tier picks of Airguns I use on a regular basis for serious pest control and hunting out in the field. YouTube is full of AI generated videos that steal content and overlay B/S narrative to hook uninformed viewers. I just wanted to share my real experience, pros/cons as well as tips for those looking for a higher end product that works and offers long term value.

I'm kind of shocked that you didn't make it 5 and include the Mora, a great list.

Always take your recommendations Dana. You have mentioned before that there are some brands that don't want you to review their rifles, as you will he honest and not try to fluff an item.

Sorry but the Mora is the last airgun I want to lug around for small game hunting. Mine is a stationary gun for coyotes at long range.

Love my Pathfinder and Huntsman.....both in 177....I use both in competition and also schwacking pests.....I have never shot the EVOL or the new Mordax.

So many air guns out there to choose from.....

Great assessment Dana, your word is bond and your in the field videos? Proof of concept, keep it coming… The BRK Pathfinder is the one that I shoot the most, it really is a dandy little PCP… So cool to see it as one of your top picks…

Thanks, im sure I made it onto a list somewhere of people not to send anything for review. As a business model I shot myself in the foot a long time ago. Regardless, I do the best I can with what I have. The goal is to eventually be wealthy enough to acquire anything and just tear them apart as I please...I don't play the lottery though.

Same I never win anything, so the lottery is out for me. Knowing my luck I would be one number off on all of them and get nothing anyway

Personally I would rather companies not like me if they expect me to lie. People would much rather an honest review over the over saturated reviews you see everywhere else. That is also one reason why people respect Tom as well. He isn't afraid to hear what people see, and is more than willing to make the rifles better.

Oh, you can bet on there being a list. Marketing people all talk to each other and change jobs between competitors. They get together at trade shows and talk.

I know, I've literally been told I am not welcome as a panelist or to give papers at my industry trade shows. Been at least 20 years now since my last unvarnished analysis of a new and innovative product.

I liked the video based upon the fact that he doesn’t care if you buy these guns or not and flat out said it. This is what he likes and has used in the field. It was also cool to Elizabeth shooting the Mordax.

Dana , finally sat down & watched the video w/your favorite guns. I'm not one for high end guns but, I have settled on a
BSA R-TEN as my "Handsome Gun" ( price drop buy), 3 AirMaks Katrans for my "Tank tough field guns"( UA sale for the last 2), 3 Stoegers for Economy, good for the $$$ performance guns. I've had other brands & styles ,some are still here & others hit the road. Honestly if limited to 3-4 do-all guns, & the CFO "allowed", the Katrans could do it for me.
