N/A Looking for a compact .22 PCP for woods walking

Seems similar to my Panthera Hunter Compact in .22. I have a 480cc bottle shooting 21gr slugs at 900fps. Only 60 shots before it falls off the reg. Again that’s 37 fpe off of a 300mm barrel. lol. I’m going to try some 23gr slugs.

I ended up ordering a Krait Standard in .22 from Talon Tunes. Not sure about how I feel about buying a new gun at full pricing knowing the Krait 2 is in the works. Lol.

If the gun does everything you want and performs to your expectations, don’t even read or especially watch anything about a Krait 2 when or if they ever make one. That way you’ll feel just fine about paying full price. After owning a Krait, I know what improvements I would make if I was one of their engineers. They are not ground breaking or game changing. If you’re gonna be a set it and forget it pellet shooter, you’ll be fine. But keep an eye on where the charging handle thing rides on the barrel. My barrel was getting chewed up.

short and sweet. 54shots on a 225bar fill, moa all day at 50 yards, 6lbs. one reg extremely consistent.

My Ghost Carbine is heavy to me for a walkabout gun. With a small scope its possible but with a 6-24x50mm scope atop the weight adds up… I enjoy my Pathfinder more as a woods walker. Either way a good sling makes a difference and the weight of any rig is relative to who is doing the toting…

If length is critical to you, so be it, but it's something I've never understood. Unless you're crawling through briar thickets, what does it really matter? Example, my Taipan Veteran meets your length criteria. But, I'd much rather carry my lighter and longer Revere. For me, short, boxy bullpups are much more difficult to handle and shoot (well) in the woods, compared to a traditional sporter style rifle. But I digress. It's a personal preference, and I wish you luck in your search.

In my neck of the woods, it is very thick. Especially small game opener in September when leaves and brushes are still fully alive. Here’s some pictures stumbling upon a whitetail scrape.

That doesn't look much different than my neck of the woods. It's important to carry the rifle with which you have the most comfort and confidence.

The Krait will do you well it would be One of my preferes choice, but like jace said an Uragan2/3 in CF would be great for that, its sturdy. I love mine but its on 600 not compact.
Personally I just use my GK1 for wood walking. Its really so light thats on a completly other level for carry around, for 30/50yds its perfect, but for 80yds maybe its a bit too far away? I just love this thing, ever since I bought it my FX dreamline (really light build) as not seen daylight....

I had a GK1 where I converted it to a carbine. The only issue is the elevation poi change as the pressure changes. If I picked up another GK1, I’d get it in .22 and install the regulator kit.
