CS4 arrived, my first pcp compressor.

Are you certain that it weighs only 19 pounds, not 19 kg?

The specs show 29 pounds, shipping weight, which might be closer to 19 kg when coolant is added.

My CS3 weighs about 24 pounds and my New Warrior (Benjamin) weighed close to 50 pounds with coolant.
I did not elaborate very well; the empty box was 19 pounds. When I got it, I thought it seemed to weigh much more. I did not even have all the packaging in the empty box when I weighed it.

Starting to work on the 5k2, compared to the CS4, it's an absolute pleasure to pick up and move around. I did not need to spend that money on the smaller unit. /j This one has minor moisture in the lines compared to the CS4. The size difference of the lower part under the pistons compared to the CS4 is very apparent.

You got CD4 and a CS5? Dual cylinder? Seems like you have air.

The only drawback I've seen on the Hueben is it basically can't be decocked and it is not simple or quick to take pellets or slugs out of integral magazine. But it seems like a powerful and innovative airgun. There is a pistol version too which can be used as a carbine. Crazy cool airguns is one place to get them.

I appreciate the help. I have only owned a springer and an older GAMO gas piston. I just came across the Taipan Slash. It reminds me of the leshiy. In the first video, the person said he hoped air would not come back in his face.

Taipans are reported to have about the nicest trigger of any airgun and great accuracy. I hessitate to get one because they are somewhat heavy. Almost all PCPs work by having a hammer hit a valve to release the air. Huebens use a totally different system. The trigger opens a valve if I understand what I've seen. No hammer. Cleaning the barrel is from the muzzle only, not a great idea, but it normally is not necessary very often on an airgun. I think both are great guns from what I've read and seen. AGTs and Air Maks are also quality airguns at a somewhat lower price point. I have an Air Maks Caiman X and it has not been trouble free but it is a nice gun that is a pleasure to shoot and it's as accurate as any airgun I own. After I got it fixed up it has been trouble free.

I found the pricing for it, which is the same as the leshiy, but from the videos, it does not look like it can be taken down like the leshiy. I sort of lean towards the sidewinder compact. It would be great not to have to worry about earplugs when shooting while out working in the tractor.
 
I haven't shot a Hueben but the reviews indicate it is pretty quiet. May not be audible if the tractor is running. It's shroud is baffled. My Avenger is my only airgun that didn't have reasonably effective baffles in the shroud. And if you decide to add a moderator no tax stamp or permit is required.
Depending on whether I'm further out in the field, I would not have to worry, but I need something quiet when I get near the house. I have an older Rattler 384 thermal I used on my .22LR. Would enjoy getting back to shooting from the lower side of our house at night without worrying about neighbors.
