I love the looks of the compact but I thought with the mag underneath unlike the maverick it wouldn't get in the way.

Thanks

It “kind of” does Jon but nothing that you won’t get used to. I feel it a bit on my cheek but it isn’t bothersome at all

I LOVE the Impact, mine is the Compact M3 in 25 cal

Have you had any issues with the onboard computer especially in bad weather.

no issues of any kind , with you style of shooting you might want the composite stock (I'm always being overly careful with the wood stock costing me time . P.S. never had it out in below freezing .

Do all the Daystate rifles with a digital display have an electromechanical fire control system?

Thats the deal killer for me with the Wolf series of rifles. If they have models where the electronics are supplemental that would be cool.

The Renegade has only electronic trigger.... Super combination !!!..... Reliability of mechanical and a super trigger.

I have both. Your list emulates exactly what you would get with a Kalibrgun purchased and tuned by Charlie Frear at Georgia Airguns.

The Brocock is a really nice rifle and very accurate, but the Kalibrgun’s are simple, built like tanks, smooth to cock, and just shoot and shoot with not much needed but air.

What caliber you shooting? I have looked hard at cricket tactical with the composite stock.

For a lefty, I think I would go for a bullpup to be able to switch the side lever. That being said I have 2 Brococks and a Daystate and they are all more accurate than me. I also have an AGT Uragan and RTI Prophet Performance with both levers on the left side and as a righty I really like that position now. You can’t go wrong with any of the aforementioned guns!

Hello,

A brief history of my PCP experience. I traded for a 25cal maunder that was tuned already for energy. It shoots great and I squirrel hunt with it. Thats it. I have a hand pump and will need to get portable compressor to fill. I don't want to drive to town to get tanks filled.

I am want a high end pcp like the ones listed above but I have needs. LOL

Here they are:
1. very dependable
2. I am not a tinker at all, don't want to mess with tuning all the time. Just want to grab gun and go.
3. Mostly for hunting but some plinking. mostly squirrels
4. Accurate
5. good shot count per fill
6. I'm lefty so needs to be ambi. no mags hitting my cheek or having to move head. Bolt can be on right as long as I don't have to lift my head up to work it.
7. compact like the FX M3 compact
8. quiet or able to add moderator

Sorry for sounding so demanding but if I am going to spend 2 grand or so just on rifle it needs to do these things. Most important thing to me is dependable and doesn't need to be tinkered with all the time. I am hunter

Thanks
Jon

Fx and dependable is an oxymoron lol, kalibre probably the most dependable out of the 3 you listed, my choice of the 3 are
1. Kalibre gun
2. Brocock
3 fx (but I think I would do without before I bought a fx )

I guess you have had some bad times with a fx or know folks that have? I know all quality products can have lemons or issues some of the time but if its more common than yes that would be a major no in my book. I know people can become fanboys and never talk bad about ---------- but I can't afford the luxury of regretting my choice based on issues of reliability or maintenance problems. It seems the more a dig into this level of play with the air rifles the more I like my marauder and the more I am leaning to a quality springer. Yes, I know they have their own set of unique problems. I was looking at the additional cost of a good compressor(at least 800), 4500psi carbon tank with setup(900-1000). So at 3500 to get to play. I know people will say get amazon 300 compressor and replace parts when the go out. No thank you and have to cool it with water out of 5 gallon bucket again no.

I seem harsh with my words but I don't want that headache. I do not like working on my guns of any kind. So I need dependable, realistic consistent gun with good accuracy.

Thanks again
Jon
