Not much out there now days for new guns to buy in .20.
Airgun Revisions builds a custom Marauder that's regulated. I've been eyeing that one myself!
Not sure if Air Force is still offering .20 either! I bought one of the last Daystate Regals in .20 that came into the states from AoA a few years ago. Maybe call them and see if they have anything laying around. Sometimes they have guns that aren't listed on the website. Another option I almost forgot about is Martin Rutherford at Airguns USA will probably build you a RAW in .20 cal.

Thanks , a Regal would be nice & I’ll check with aoa today. I did contact them on a hw100 in 20. Their requirements are half down on the preorder and at least 6 months wait for the rifle.

It will be used for squirrel hunting and removing pest birds from cattle farms. Don’t need another rifle but I WANT lol.

This is the Airforce Clonish style Pinty Tactical. I just made a 24" .20 barrel for it off an HW110 (it was also a new barrel not a takeoff) it's regulated and you can buy the rifle new I'll upgrade your trigger and add the barrel. Gun is $250 new. The trigger and barrel are also $250 so for around $540 shipped you get a brand new regulated .20 that shoots 13.58gr Baracuda pellets between 800-1100fps depending on reg setting and power wheel. Trigger breaks between 1 and 1-1/2lb.
There is a nice 19 page thread about these rifles just a few posts down for you to check out.

You are correct sir lol. Dang it if I could just find one. All kidding aside thanks for selling me yours. It’s a great gun. Now I need to get a mini in 22.Seems like the .22 Taipan Veteran is perfect for that application!

Someone in the classifieds is selling their leshiy classic, you can get a .20 cal barrel for it as well. I believe the brk ghost also comes in .20

Like a really beefy .177 with a larger surface area. Pretty sweet caliber. I'm surprised more people don't use them.

.20 caliber at 25 fpe and below is nothing short of AWESOME !!!
Personally have been competing in Field target at sub 20 fpe with the .20 cal going on @ 9 years now finding it is by far the most accurate & consistent caliber I've used to date.
Own 3 pcps in the caliber currently ... YES they are that special
*Daystate Airwolf
*Edgun Lelya G1
*RAW TM-1000

Similar here Scott. 3 in .20.
Taipan Veteran (.20/13.73 @800-805)
BRK Ghost (.20/15.89s at 915 and .20/18.9s @ 910)
USFT (recently converted from .177, but now the .20/13.73s at 790-810).
All three were rebarrel projects, changing calibers. And all three were worth paying for the machine work (did the USFT myself) to have them as .20s for the BC superiority. Apples to apples (fpe) the .20 and current JSB/NSA options make the .20 the best there is for ballistic coefficient.

Actually, it makes the most sense in pcp... The 13.7s have the highest BC of any offering that is reasonable for sub 20 ft lb service and the 15.89s have the best BC of any offering up to about 35 ft lb... PLUS they just seem to generally be more accurate, or at least as good as my best... Then there are the 18.9 slugs... oh my... they're just wonderful little buggers that will reach out really well but not use a ton of air or cause the rifle to be unpleasant to shoot...
In my stable are Red Wolf and Delta Wolf in 20, plus some Sheridans and a Cros 100 that I converted. Did have a Ghost in the mix but it's out now.
What doesn't make sense to me is having one below 20 ft lb, similar to 22 below 30 ft lb... sure, it will shoot ok, possibly extremely well, but there are better options imho...
