FX Maverick Sniper vs Compact - What's your choice?

I have a compact and decided to buy a VP just because the 600mm barrel is the perfect compromise for power and accuracy. I replaced the heavy 400cc aluminum air tank with a 480cc CF tank and saved 11 ounces of weight plus a few more shots.

I’m confused as to why you bought a new gun instead of the 600mm barrel kit and put it on the compact. I have a wildcat and maverick. And all three barrels. I can mix and match depending on the activity and type of ammo.

Compact.

Sorry, I should have mentioned that in my first post.

My compact is a .22 and the VP is a .25. I really don't like swapping barrels. I know it's easy, but you still have to re-tune it in some cases or at least zero it it. I know when I pull the rifle out of the case, it's ready to go as is.
