You’re spot on, the Pathfinder has entered the mix, lol. Fortunately, I have till September when the season starts to save make up my mind (and save some money). Thanks for everything!

Thanks for the recommendation, I'll definitely check her out.

Regulator issues (seems like he eventually got it fixed, but I’m not spending $1300 on a project): Fill port issues: https://airgunforums.co.uk/threads/brococks-ranger-xr-177-qc-nightmare.93038/ Safety switch, can’t find the link right now, but know I came across a video of some guy...
