Is that the FX Dynamic compact arca rail? I'm debating between that rail or if I want the side picatinny rail. I'm leaning towards the side picatinny so I can mount a sling.

I would love to, but I will wait till others make reviews of them or wait for them to come down in price. I love the ones I have owned, but I won't pay top dollar for a brand new one when I can wait a bit.

not as compact as @MikeVV standards but compact for me
notos 34” with this moderator i built from a $15 temu can. this 26fpe notos is as quiet as an 8fpe 1322 with the buckrail moderator.
the gun is usually sporting 5” moderator instead of this 8” bbc(big black can). just as quiet but a tiny bit louder ping.

I've shared this elsewhere but here's to compacts.....
I've got a couple that fit the < 30" criteria, and a couple more that are < 34." I'm really a fan of "short" and have come to choose compact for most of my airgun uses. Bout the only places I've noticed any sort of benefit from "long" is when shooting off sticks/bipod like for Hunter field target and/or shooting from a offhand position.
Of my compacts, this is the mostest compactest, and generally the coolest.
Gun measures just about 27." It lives in that case, for which external measurements are: 27" long and 14" wide.
Started as a Veteran Short .22, but now has a 16" .20 barrel on it, and an airtube from a Vet Standard, and of course the Vet chassis. Ergo grip, 0 degree or 90 degree or whatever they call it. Nearly all the pellets that leave the gun are the JSB .20/13.73 @ 800-805. Gets something like 80ish shots per fill there, and can push it to 120 shots if you're okay with a bit wider ES. Spined a prairie dog last summer at 182 yards. He was standing up looking away from me and it hit him right between the shoulder blades. In the 7ish years that I've owned this gun, I'd estimate I'm 1000+ on the total # of prairie dogs that it has eliminated.
This gun and the case work perfect for my permissions that are more visible to the public. One of which is an irrigated field along a highway. That short wide case doesn't yell "GUN!" to any passerbys as I'm walking to the hide. And once settled in the hide, the compactness is yet again appreciated for discrete work.

I guess this now offers up as a..."compact".
The factory barrel length is 17" long. The current barrel length is 8" long, for a total of (about) 26.1" long.
Notice the Huma M30 muffler on the end of the shroud...

From a post earlier - Friendly discussing, sure, but na...not into arguing.

.25 caliber tuned to 670 FPS with the JSB 25.39gr pellets (25 FPE). 80 shots on the regulator from a full 250 bar fill. I replaced the Belleville washers in the Huma Air regulator to the "low" power ones and set the reg to 65 bars. The stock Huma Air washers were too strong for the low pressure tune and was giving me a wider extreme spread than I'd like.
I always see all the videos of night rat shooting and I've always wanted to do something like that. Although I don't have a permission yet for such a target rich environment like that, at least I now have a gun that will do it if ever.

I use to rat hunt at my father in laws pig farm. No night vision then I used a red light attached to a hat and a FWB 124 with aperture sights. Turned the hat to where it aligned with my sights and had at it. One night I shot a whole tin (Hobby pellets) and missed 4 times. The rats were thick. It is a ball. Good luck with your permission..25 caliber tuned to 670 FPS with the JSB 25.39gr pellets (25 FPE). 80 shots on the regulator from a full 250 bar fill.
