Ever since the arrival of my Ghost XR Carbine the Pathfinder XR has been somewhat neglected. The Atomics are locked in, but the Pathfinders’ future seemed in doubt. With the huge Aztec Emerald 6-24x-50 IR SF FFP atop. She is heavy and the Ghost easily duplicates its capabilities. Today I mounted my little WHT 3-12x FFP SF IR compact scope on the Pathfinder. This lightened her up right away, lighter than the Ghost with G1 Athlon Helos 6-24x-50 IR SF FFP atop. After sighting in at 25 yards, I started murdering my favorite targets. Sidewalk chalk cut down to chipmunks head size. The hits at 25, 30, 40 and 50 yards reminded me of why I’m keeping the Pathfinder in the stable.
