Others Pathfinder XR… two groups at 50 yards

[Luis Leon]

Sent these two, five shot groups today after a long day of chores around my property. Bipod front, fist as rear bag. I simply held dead on and let the wind do its thing to the pellets. CPHPs on left, JSB Exact Jumbo 18s on the right. Both groups covered by a dime. I am not a bench rest shooter. The gun can do better, me? Not so much… The bulk of my shooting is plinking and pesting where first round hits are the goal. The Pathfinder XR rarely disappoints.8

Thats where the Pathfinder XR shines best for me on pests and small game. One shot kills are the norm… I’m hitting, consistently wine corks from 25 to 64 yards. Which translates to high confidence pesting…

The Pathfinder is a bottle gun, the Atomic a smaller capacity, cyclinder gun.

If I had to pick only one? The Atomic…

is that becuase of added shot count or does it just feel better?

The smaller Atomic handles better and though it offer less shots and power than the Pathfinder. It is quite capable, the Atomic can be hand pumped the Pathfinder?
