Received a generous amount of help and suggestions regarding this specific purpose compact pester. I've formerly settled it down to 3. Since then, I have reviewed many videos, and have removed 2 and added 1. Based on my current preferences my candidates are now these:
1 BRK pathfinder
2 Airmaks Krait
Both have rock solid accuracy both over and under 12 FPE. Both have nice, compact size, good weight. Airmaks appears to have worked out their early reg issues. Now residing in USA, there is no power restrictions, both would be out of box at about 26 FPE give or take . My desire would be to tune either one down to about 18 FPE. I know the BRK pathfinder has a transfer port adjuster. I don't believe the krait has any external adjuster. However, I would simply adjust either to where I want them by reg or HS combo and leave it. Also nice to be able to power either up down the road if desired.
Here is the question, since both are available in sub 12 foot pound version, they should both accept a tune down without losing accuracy? Just need to balance the reg and HS to keep the harmonics proper. I am aware their are lower power out of the box candidates, but I like having the higher shot counts and flexibility to move power up if desired. Or do the sub 12 foot pound versions have different designs?
