PCP What would be your choice?

[Solo1]

Which barrel? The stock pellet barrel?

Yep. I think its doing well for the conditions ive had to shoot it in

The stock 23 inch ghost barrels are good after a cleaning and a light. Polish

I'm considering buying another .30 cal PCP. I already have an FX M3 that I use for 100 yd BR competiton, but want one without all the heavy extra hardware. I'm considering"

Brockock Sonoran
RAW HM1000x Mini LRT
Cricket Tactical

What would you choose or is there a better choice? I'm leaning toward the Brocock instead of any tactical because there are fewer protrusions.

I have 3 30 cal rifles, Black Wolf chassis with a Sub MOA barrel, a ghost factory 23 inch polished barrel, and the Sonoran….If you told me I could only have 1 it would be the Sonoran.

BW is the most comfortable off the bench. Too heavy for hunting or EFT.

Ghost OK off the bench, Heavy for hunting and good for EFT.

Sonoran OK off the bench, but a friend made a bag rider for me, that I am testing, which made the Sonoran much better off the bench, great for hunting and good/great for EFT…..Down side in my eyes, not enough “Balls” to get the 50 grain pellets into 890-900 FPS.

I concur (not that it matters lol): the only downsides to the Sonoran is the power curve for heavier pellets/ slugs and the stock for Benchrest. The stock is a minor issue, with workarounds and a non-issue if you’re not buying it for Benchrest. The power is fine for 45gr and 50gr up to about 900fps like Pesty states. My Sonoran likes 850-890fps with 45gr pellets and so again not an issue for me. Mine also really likes AEA 52.2gr slugs and can shoot them MOA at 100yds with the available power. I wanted to try the 66gr slugs and couldn’t because of the power. Now that I have a Panthera MKII that can, I see that I wasn’t missing anything LOL. It’s definitely a solid air rifle. I would like to try a BW, but that’s a non-contender in the $2k category. The 1:26 barrel seems to be a winner for .30 versatility.
