@M777, when you say impossible, what does that mean? Full body weight on the pump won’t crack the valve in the Atomic? When I ran into a similar issue the problem was with the pump. I own a HPA compressor and still handpump both my Atomics. I suspect the pump…
No to selling, just happened to stock up over the years as they are good to go out of my guns sub 60 yards… Hopefully the shortage is a temporary thing…
My Ghost Carbine is heavy to me for a walkabout gun. With a small scope its possible but with a 6-24x50mm scope atop the weight adds up… I enjoy my Pathfinder more as a woods walker. Either way a good sling makes a difference and the weight of any rig is relative to who is doing the toting…
Was at my permission setting up shooting lanes and proped my Atomic up. And this peahen decided to check it out… The darn thing is bigger than the BRK… but I must admit she has good taste…🤓

You have her setup sweetly, am definitely looking forward to some after action reports. The pests are going to be in serious trouble, very, very nicely setup, love the sling and will have to borrow that idea…🙏
Do your research and pick up a bargain on the PCP of your choice here on the classifieds. At your stated budget, many fine used PCPs have come up for sale of late. Brand new…? Good luck, seems like you are already on an irrevocable path. Love the fact that you already have a HPA compressor...
While springers do get it done and are wonderful in their own right. For me all the monkey motions involved in cocking, loading, uncocking and finally sending? Is simply too much. And thats for just one shot... Give the PCP of your choice a try, there are many inexpensive models out that would...
The single shot mode was why I switched to a mag fed gun… I was missing opportunities at multiples, other than that a seriously deadly close range pistol…
“Never cared for groups after zero” Love it… same here, once zeroed… lot’s of pliniking where only the first shot counts… Then its off to do some pest control. Of course it is, but consistently? For the majority of shooters sending? Is the question…🙏 The “sporting” aspect as it applies to...
