May I ask what scope you have mounted on it? Love the rifle !!

 

[AJ_Roberts]

It’s a Discovery HD 3-12x44sfir FFP, it’s only on there temporarily and is being replaced by a MTC Copperhead 4-16x44 F2 soon, I really can’t get on with FFP at lower mag

 

[AJ_Roberts]

Went to the range Thursday to get it sighted in and do some pellet testing, H&N FTT’s are winning at the moment, but there’s room for improvement, so picking up some sample packs and back to testing next week, my old skool Logun S16 also made an appearance

I really want one of these guns but I have not seen any chronograph testing with one in .22. I am hoping to see a power tune of one to see how close to 30fpe it will come. If anyone does a power tune please let me know the only chronograph results I have seen was a max of 23fpe. in .22.

 

[L.Leon]

@bigmike, here you go… from the out the box tune. It does 25 FPE with the JSB Exact Jumbo 18.13s. You could probably get it to 30 FPE, at the expense of shot count and harmonics.

Hi Airgun Nationers!

The BRK Pathfinder is now being shipped on ever increasing numbers so i though it a good time to share the press release and data on this very compact new rifle. For those of you who have missed it, the BRK/Brocock Pathfinder takes the idea of the super compact Atomic and Ranger but adds a 300cc carbon bottle instead of the 50cc air tube on the Ranger. We have done this using the well established Commander, and adding the ranger barrel and tuning up the Hume-Air regulator from the magnum version. The combination is a small compact and fully equipped carbine that is heavier than the Ranger, but more powerful and with a greater shot count. Tony

BRK PATHFINDER

READY FOR ACTION

The BRK Pathfinder XR joins the super-light and compact Ranger XR which quickly became a firm favourite with hunters and pest controllers. Building on its success and reputation, the new Pathfinder XR features a lightweight 300cc carbon Kevlar bottle for increased shot count compared to the Ranger XR. Export and FAC models also benefit from higher power output as well. The Pathfinder XR measures a carbine length 22.5 inches with its folding stock deployed, and just 18.5 inches with it retracted, resulting in a rifle that is incredibly fast onto the target and useful in tight situations. It weighs just 6.4lbs, and yet in low power can deliver over 200 shots. .25 calibre models produce energy up to 30 ft/lbs. Super compact and able to be easily transported in a backpack, or optional purpose-built rifle slip. The Pathfinder XR offers superb accuracy at hunting ranges out to 45 yards and beyond and its slick sidelever action enables fast reloading. The Pathfinder features an advanced Huma-Air regulator and newly introduced hammer design. This new system is our most consistent, yet which results in superb performance and accuracy.

Od xr .22 is on my watchlist for AOA.Currently,they are on pre-order. .177 would be sweet ,as well coming in around 17-18 fpe But,I simply must have .22

 

[L.Leon]

At the moment I am preferring my Pathfinder .22 over my Ghost Carbine .22… I’ve come to really appreciate the Pathfinder’s form factor and capabilities. With a big scope on it mine was heavy and unnecessarily made it a rival to the Ghost. When I downsized the scope it became a sweeter handling rig. It is currently my go to day time pesting machine…

And thanks for your response, sir , what you just told me is everything I wanted to hear because that’s what I was on the fence about the pathfinder. I knew it was gonna be heavy, especially if I threw one of my hawk sidewinders on it but I have plans for this as a chipmunk rig that could possibly be shot off hand, although I’m not banking on that.
