    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!

    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...

    I keep asking the question because I’ve watched/read so many reviews. I’d like to know if the negatives on the Ranger I’ve seen over various reviews (safety switch that breaks, messed up fill port cover, unreliable regulator, etc.) are one-offs, or are representative of the brand, which I can...

    Can’t argue with results! I’m with you in regards to using a bottle as a buttstock, too. It’s not a deal breaker for me, but it’s not ideal, either. And dang, I really thing the Ranger is a good looking gun (looks aren’t that important, but they don’t hurt).

    Airgun Technologies AGT Vixen or BRK Ranger/Atomic XR?

    Haha, thanks. I’ve wondered about a Vixen 2, as well. Knowing a new iteration is imminent makes pulling the trigger difficult, for sure. I’ve also heard about the plastic cage thing causing poi shift. It’s the biggest strike I’ve heard against the Vixen. Anyway, thanks for your reply. Knowing...

    Thank you. I've seen several posts/reviews claiming the Pathfinder was pellet fussy, so I kind of ruled it out of contention. It's also a bit more expensive. And, since this will be a hunting gun primarily, I'm not too concerned with having a massive shot count (20 shots at game on a given...

    Hello all, I live in a rural-ish area and would like to hunt the woods not far from my house this coming September (small game, mostly squirrel and rabbit). There are neighbors in the vicinity, so an air rifle is a better option for me than a .22lr. I think I have narrowed my choice down to...
