The Pathfinder is in reality a super shorty Bantam XR Sniper with a much shorter barrel, smaller bottle and folding stock. Or, a very small version of the Commander XR. Either way? A super sweet pesting rig. BRK Brocock produce super solid, no nonsense, field ready guns. I love mine.

Thank you for posting this. The long-term review and experience with the atomic, has put it with the top three of the rifles on my buy it list.

Chrono'ed my Atomic today. In the 90 degree midday heat and using JSB Exact Jumbo 15.89 gr pellets I got ten shot average of 745 fps/19.59 fpe at the muzzle with the external hammer adjuster dialed all the way in. If I released it ten clicks counterclockwise it came down to 725 fps/ 18.55 fpe. Steve on AEAC got much lower velocities. Haven't measured accuracy today but it was phenomenal last week!

That Pathfinder is going to turn a lot of heads. It just screams, “let me at em’ “ at any of the myriad pests out there. Murder she wrote…Oh yeah!

I've been wanting a compact/backpack pest gun. I'm thinking a Pathfinder in .177 might be the ticket!

Okay to add to this, I can say for my current half brother / sister to the Atomic, my Ranger (it is not a cousin because born of the same mother) I would say a 100 kills in the last year, maybe more with over half at my last permission all pigeons (don't get comfortable starlings I am coming for you.). Plus about the platform in my opinion, accurate in its genetics, definitely durable (Dana (can't find Dana's profile in @ ???? WTF)

Definitely a rugged little gun. Even though Dana doesn’t post here anymore, you can still reference his videos here if you choose to. You have been putting that Ranger to the test and it’s doing great in your hands.

Sad, Dana replied to my post on one of his videos and basically said "big air" commercializing things too muck like the forums, thus not his cup of tea.

A Steiner THOR green laser. Picked it up for a steep discount. Have it zeroed at ten meters for closer in shots. Also helpful for pointing out iguanas in the trees to others when we go out at night.

Thanks for posting about your Atomic, like others mentioned I was shy of the atomic due to shoot count I currently have Commander XR 22 and really really like the gun however it is heavier dressed out than I figured to lug around the woods and have in a boat. I almost pulled the trigger on a Huben K1 have nixed that from my thoughts then am looking at a Wildcat MKIII BT compact. Maybe I need to really consider the Atomic,

Depends on what you want to do… I was plinking, and getting first round hits on these small objects from 40 to 64 yards this evening with CPHPs. Mine is a keeper, maybe consider the Pathfinder? It’s basically a mini Commander… I love the fact that I don’t need anything but a pump to keep the Atomic XR pressurized with HPA.
