Looking to get another brk. I had a Ranger, and liked it, but for some ungodly reason (grass is greener disease) I sold it.

My requirements are folding stock, and compact nature, but it looks like you can get an atomic that folds also. Which one do I get? Any differences between the 2 other than the folding stock?

Thanks in advance.
 
call AoA they would know.
at one point I ask and was told there was but maybe they were just reading and didnt look? as I recall I checked the BRK web sight I found info that made me think the description of the 12" barrel was correct.
makes me know differance.
 
So I pulled the trigger on another ranger. Getting it from Derrick wall so he can work his magic on the trigger like he did with my previous one. I’ll be setting this up with my new thermnight optic, and it’ll be on pesting duties for the foreseeable future. I’m losing faith in AAA, so my evol mini will take a back seat for now. At least with brk I know I can get parts fairly easily for it.

I don't think you'd be wronged with either! Another one often overlooked, and my favorite of the trio is The Sniper XR (but no folding stock) Why on earth Brk quite making laminate stocks for em is beyond me. Imagine that little guy with a small bipod, compact scope, in .177 or .22....a pest smacking machine😍
What caliber did you end up getting?

How is the Pathfinder different in looks from… and I quote you…

“and my favorite of the trio is The Sniper XR ” …

Same gun, larger bottle and a non folding stock… And yes, like with the ladies, its all about good performance…😈
Personal preference & jmo! I 100% believe you they are "the same" gun just different stocks? To me one looks amazing and the other looks like it was built with left over parts....on a friday@ 4:30 before a long weekend.... by children...sorry 😅
The od green version was neat too but...still no.
I mean...just look at this sniper! 😍

OK then, seems like you are belaboring it a bit. Note the same action, same stacked guages, etc. Only differences the synthetic, folding stock and barrel length and bottle size of the Pathfinder. I owned a Sniper HR with a synthetic stock, yes it looks sweeter in the laminated stock. But it’s still the same platform… Just like the Atomic and Ranger XRs are but smaller BRK Concepts. The familal resemblance is undeniable to see.

“built with left over parts....on a friday@ 4:30 before a long weekend.... by children...sorry 😅”

Yes, a sorry statement, is right… 🙄
 
Not going to lie that .30 cal that AoA/Sub-Moa came up with on the rifle linked is super intriguing but price point is high.


I too keep looking and wanting something that is heavily supported, on AoA website they don't have many offerings for BRK anymore (been out of the loop for a year lol) , even after my fiasco with my Alpha Wolf I had where Daystate themselves (Tony Belas) argued twist rate is not an important piece of information in airgunning and doesn't matter I have been looking at Daystate rifles as a way to get back into shooting as well.

Sorry if I "derailed" the thread ...
