N/A  Best 22 pellet slinger?

I do own a Pathfinder, no tuning on my part Regulator at 150 BAR and HS as received. I get 77-80 shots per fill. The Pathfinder is a sweet PCP, its the one I reach for the most. I’ve posted about mine here on AGN. Going out now to plink with mine…🙏
Will the pathfinder shoot the heavier stuff well?

N/A  Best 22 pellet slinger?

You might need to rethink your expectations. The best barrel in the world will not shoot crappy pellets. So, if you have cabinet full of leftovers and culls, I think it is unlikely that you will find a rifle that "slings" them all sub MOA! But good luck in your search.
I've owed a evol mini 22, huben k1 22, uragan 2 compact 22, cricket 22, prod 22, gk1 22, taipan mutant 22, taipan vet 22 standard. I have pellets i purchased for these guns over the years. Full unopened tins because I sold the guns.

I feel my expectations are reasonable. I dont expect to find 1 gun to shoot everything sub moa, but I would like the versatility to push heavy and lighter pellets with the ability to externally adjust for each pellet. The k1/gk1 is the only gun that falls into that category from what I've owned, but id like to try something new. If its a semi it has to have a removable mag.

If I had to choose 1 pellet the gun liked it would be either the jsb 25 grain or jts 25 grain(i have the most of these). Then from there I have a handful of tins of hades, jsb 18s. Then I have a bunch of random weight jts and jsb I bought for testing purposes.

I appreciate all the feedback. I wanted to hear all the opinions before I make a choice. Keep the suggestions coming. Im in no rush.

Now this is some great advertising! H&N

Been shooting pellets for 63 yrs, I am 75. Slugs have a small niche in the air gun community. If I hang a picture a roofing hammer is not what I use. When shooting starlings off the bird house a 30cal pellet, slug etc is not the rifle I use. My .02 cents
What if the starling is 150+ yards away in variable winds?
(Imagines bird houses looking like they have suffered a Russian drone attacks)

My Journey to Airgun Nation Forum

Where do I begin......

Honestly, it hasn't been this long and winding journey to this forum, only took me about 5 weeks to land here and I am glad I did. I had this OLD Crossman break barrel pellet gun from days gone by. It is a .177 and probably 25 years old or so. I used it for pest control several times over the years and I have one of the older grandsons that likes to plink when he visits. I live on a few acres.

Fast forward to early June, 2025. I have a house sparrow problem. They are killing and bothering my purple martins and bluebirds. I bought several traps and had good success, but I thought shooting them would also help accelerate the eradication. The barrel and sight on my old air rifle was bent, maybe twisted, who knows. Sights were all jacked up. It was old so I thought I would buy something newer. I bought a Gammo Swarm 10X Gen 2 I think its called. Wow! Pellet cartridges, what a concept, never knew they existed.

Had that for a week and moved on to a Notos .22....nice! Hand pump, check. Nope, that is BS past 3,000 PSI, so I bought a Vevor compressor and an extra little filter. Sure beats that handpump.

Then I continue searching to learn more about PCP air rifles. Look at all this nice variety of air rifles out there. Picked up an FX Leopard Standard Bottle with a Helix 4-16 Gen2 scope. Sweet for sure, but damn, how am I supposed to "tune to the knee"? Ordered a Athlon Chrony. Ok, good for checking FPS and tuning now.

Not too happy with these little cigarette filters. Worried about moisture. Picked up a GX filter today.

Its only been 5 weeks since I picked up the Gammo. Does it ever end!
Its only been 5 weeks since I picked up the Gammo. Does it ever end! IN A word ............... NO it just gets better .

Found a deal on spinner target on Amazon

I bought a screw in double spinner on Amazon to replace my old one that was bending from pellet strikes. This one from Do All Outdoors seems pretty sturdy, rated for .22cal rimfire, and is on sale on Amazon for $13.58. After getting the 1st one and seeing the thickness, I ordered 2 more.

N/A  Newbie looking to buy used complete set up

100%

those of us offering advice are usually biased towards the guns that we already own. Unless something is special enough to collectively suck to the point that we hear about it on this forum, it's usually all about positive, auto-confirmation regarding our purchases
If you want no BS of course I’d recommend. XYand Z since i own one and I can comment.
We can only really comment on guns we have.

You won’t hear me say “ FX is fantastic. Because I don’t know that first hand.

Fed-Ex lost another one! Just in case someone might see it

I was expecting a package I purchased through Prime (Amazon). A FedEx truck pulled into the driveway a day early. I went out to collect the package as the driver was stepping out from the back of the truck. He apologized because he had the wrong address and left. The next day a different FedEx truck and driver pulled in and delivered the package.
