Only get to shoot ONE airgun today

Admittedly, it's a hunt to find the one (slug) that works with your setup and tune. I would say, "yupper, it's great at 100y, 150y and 200y" but I have not had enough calm wind days to substantiate my groups so, no, it's not 1 MOA at 100y 100% of the time.
I've gotten several MOA groups at 100y but until it's 100% repeatable with calm air, I'll just say its 1 MOA capable. I have a handful of 150y groups that were 1 MOA as well and I can drop slugs on the 200y steel but I can't tell you what group size that is as I just haven't cared.

I've been trying to decide between the .22 and .30 maverick sniper with slugs. Been watching videos and reading on the forums everything I can find. Have you tried the Patriot Javelin Gen 2 slugs?

Way too windy here today to bother shooting. So I'll plink in the basement with the Crossman Vigilante CO2 .177 pistol if I have to shoot something.

The .30 costs me X4 the .22 to shoot pellets and X2 to shoot slugs.
The .22 was easy to tune and it loves just about any pellet and many slugs but the .30 has been very picky.
Yes, I got a container of the PJ2 slugs and they shot well but my price per shot was nearly $0.50 a shot. I can run PB for that price.

I put the some numbers into a ballistics app and the .22 slugs BC seems to be on par or better than the .25 and .30 slugs.

Great question, but trying to come up with an answer is much too tough for me! What an awful thought. ;-) If I was being ruthlessly objective, I'd have maybe four of my very best air rifles from which to choose the ONE, but I just can't bring myself to do it! Seriously, it would require a lot of effort to make that kind of determination, as my favorite airguns are favorites first and foremost because of how accurately I can shoot with them, but they're also favorites based on the situation for which they'd be the best choice (target shooting, eliminating pests, procuring meat, etcetera), and I'm probably missing other critically important criteria as well. Whoa! I'm sorry, but I just can't make myself do it.

I already chose mine for 2024 and it was a 25 cal FX Impact M3 Compact. I'm getting so hooked I would love to get another but I'm pretty sure my wife would kill me until 2025.

Whoa! Beautiful numbers and rifle! As Darth Vader has been known to comment: "Impressive... most impressive." ;-)View attachment 455310View attachment 455311
I would have to say my Paradigm right now! Though have other rifles coming soon
