Six Shots, Five Starlings… Pathfinder XR

I could use your services at my house. LOL
I have a starling problem also. I've been able to get a few with my HW30/R7 but I've been checking out some PCP's for better results. AOA are sold out of pathfinders the last time I checked...
I was just checking last night and yes they are on back order… Of my four? Two Atomics, Ghost Carbine and Pathfinder? For my uses the Pathfinder is the most versatile of the three, it really is a sweet, light PCP. They are in stock here…

 
I've been chcking out a few different air rifles including the RAW, Ghost and Pathfinder. I feel like a RAW mini (not micro) is too powerful and loud in 22. The Ghost is on the heavy side, but has adjustablity and future proof for other endeavors etc. The pathfinder seems to be in that sweet spot from reading your comments about one... I already have a Donny FL Yokozuna, Vortex diamondback 4-16x44 scope and GX compressor. So I'm not sure what to get yet. Decisions decisions...

What do you plan to do with the gun? If you plan to shoot at 50 and in pathfinder 0 and out to 150-200 ghost. My personal favorite.

Unless you’re locked on high end airguns there are some other options as well. If I wanted a very nice do-all rifle and a compact 20 shot pester for 50yds, I’d purchase the Ghost and consider the Air Venturi Alpha. I’m not saying it is of the same quality as a BRK or RAW. But, it fits in the same category as them. It weighs under 4lbs, has folding stock, produces 25fpe and is very accurate at 50yds. All for $279.99.
 
Took the picture five at 35-40 yards, sending JSB Exact Jumbo 18s. At those ranges simply wreckage. The one miss? It took off as I sent the pellet…👿 Was there for a brief hour as I was on “honey do” time…🙈

HA! The old "flew off just as I pulled the trigger " bit huh ! Been there done that !! Nice shooting LL. Keep that snow up your way, we have enough in "Happy Valley" ! I'm hoping to get out soon with my Katran Compact to bother some rats. I've left them alone for over a month now.
 
AOA has .177 and .25 cal back in stock. Atlas Airguns is another great place to purchase air rifles & accessories from.

Other airguns to consider are the Weihrauch HW100 or HW110. Mine is a HW110 in .177, gives me 40 shots per fill at 19FPE. Those two groups are 10 shot groups at 20yds, with less than 100 shots through the gun (so still fairly brand new).

That’s a sweet looking rig…
