The BRK Ghost is awesome in all calibers offered…BRK Ghost in .25, awesome gun. I'd say it's more accurate than I am, but I lie.

Mostly big-bores. I’m still a Benjamin Bulldog .357 advocate and have been getting into the Western Rattler.
I’ve read many good things about the original Taipan Vet. In small bore the .25 Brocock Bantam Sniper HR is still a joy to shoot. This is a very well made rifle. I’ve been shooting it for a few years now and I still enjoy it. I had a couple of minor issues with it in the beginning - a fill port leak and a reg that needed replacing. It was used and that’s not so bad. Since remedying these issues she’s been good to go for hunting and target shooting out to 100 yards with pellets. You may want to give a BRK airgun a shot. Or maybe a Daystate. I believe that BRK is under the Daystate umbrella. What type of shooting do you mostly partake in?

I have a .22 Maverick and 2 Taipan vet1s . If your looking for something different I think you would like the Taipan. No need to do anything but adjust your HS for your pellets , if stock power is OK , and enjoy it . I'm very happy with the factory power output and it has the smooest , quietest shot cycle I've experienced and the trigger is amazing. Very robust and accurate . Mine came with 2 mags and a single shot tray and their super quiet so no need for an extra moderator. I use mine for pesting and the Vet 1s work great without the extra weight of the new models. I would highly recommend trying a Vet if it checks all your boxes.

So I think I’m leaning towards the taipan vet 2. I messaged Derrick Wall and if i go that rout I’ll purchase from him with his tune For slugs, he said that would be the best option between the cricket and taipan.

Agt Uragan 2 in .25 shooting 37g Zans at 935fps and very accurate 100 yards +. Point of impact doesn’t change even when taking shroud off to clean or quad rides. If I get another rifle it’s gonna be an Agt.

Well I've been contemplating selling off my semiautos, SK19 and three K1s and replacing them with a Ghost. I could replace three K1s of .177, .22 and .25 with one Ghost with 3 barrels.

The joy of the Ghost is you can pick up the other barrels if you'd like to try the other calibers. I had Derrick do the trigger, but I believe if you buy a Ghost from him he can do it before shipping it to you.

Why sell all of the k1s and not just keep one?
You couls.get 2 or 3 ghosts if you sell the lcs19 and two k1s.
Sick!
Between the cricket and the taipan I'd choose taipan over cricket simply over the easy and simple mag to breech loading, and there's no ping on the taipan where as on the cricket 2 no amount of moderator or power adjustment will make it go away.
