My shots are typically 60 yards and in .I really would like to purchase a small light weight carbine with a folding stock so I can throw it in a back pack.ive been eyeballing the brk pathfinder. The brk atomick.the leshy2 .and the huben gk1 with the folding stock.im not a tuner I just want an accurate airgun out of the box .so what one would you pick? And anyone with experience with these would be great.
I hunt tree rats alot.

I have a BRK Concept Lite XR 22 and it is great, I just wish now I bought the Atomic. They are straight to business and stout carbines. I’ve owned bottle guns and sold all them, I prefer cylinder for hunting/pest. I think the Atomic is the best price to performance.

The Atomic would be a good choice, light and easy to walk about with, and more than capable of taking tree squirrels at practical distances… More than enough shots for a typical hunting outing… If you’re looking for a solid out the box consistent performer? The Atomic XR would be a wise choice, no tinkering or tuning, unbox, scope, zero, then get to shwacking squirrels… That you are looking at the Atomic already is a big tell… Mine are with me for the long haul, simply through their awesome performance…. Proof of concept…

I have the Concept XR.25 it is bigger ,so may work better ,Stable is the name of the game for you .I just started using a great tripod,I think that could help you a lot...if you do use a tripod and set it up and wait then the smaller lighter Brocock can be the ticket .Yep light weight tripod with the Atomic is the cats' meoow,you could carry the Atomic in the small back and strap the tripod to the pack Look up the post with all 3 great Brococks that show their size relative to each other..I think the Ruger take down 10/22 pack was the perfect size....Sorry to here about your lyme disease ,it is a bitch.The best to you,your health and your search.

The RAW Micro Hunter would be another good option. You would need to add an AR15 folding stock adapter.

I have both. If my wife is screaming something is in the chicken pen, i grab the Atomic.
If i setup with tripod, the Concept. Both are equally effective. If you want to reach out a little further, try the Sniper XR Mag.. All mine are .25, if that matters.....
Quality air rifles.

The Air Maks Katran is available in different lengths, it has a folding stock, it has a CZ barrel, it is available with a bottle or cylinder and it's pretty light. Especially the shortest one. I have a Caiman, not a Katran, but it is well engineered with great machining, it's accurate, and has plenty of power for squirrels. It makes over 30 fpe with the regulator at 100 bar (22 caliber).

Am flattered, but many others have put the Atomic XR to the test prior to me. Steve at AEAC and Dana at

If you can find one used, this is a little guy that is not lacking anywhere for its size. I bought mine new because I had to see if my thoughts about the gun aligned with other members here that I respect. It did. But I still think its new price is a little salty. If a guy can buy a Brocock for a lot less and never ever own an EVOL, he will probably be just as happy as a EVOL owner.
