Absolutely - i'll report back once I have had some time to play around with it.

Thanks everyone! The only reason I held off on the K1 is because my cousin owns one, which I shoot frequently. It's a great shooter, and chances are i'll probably purchase his when he decides to sell it, but for now I'd like something that sub 30". Anyhow, I ended up pulling the trigger and...

Thanks so much for the write-up, very informative. My biggest concern is certainly the sound. It seems like adding an adapter and different moderator would defeat the purpose of buying a compact version of the standard. My plan was to dial it down to around 800 FPS, but that doesn't sound like...

Haha, let's just say my backyard isn't exactly airgun friendly. Ah, I see. So there wouldn't be any point in purchasing the adapter for the compact, correct? May I ask why you went with the standard for your .22? I'm torn between that and the compact and don't think I can justify purchasing both...

That's what I was afraid of. I've heard that the compact version has quite the bark to it. I'm planning on running it around 800 FPS, since most of my shooting would be around 10-20 yards. I shot a friend's K1 earlier today, and can say that I'd certainly be comfortable with its noise level.

So, I decided to purchase the Sidewinder. I have the compact in my cart but am in a bit of a predicament. Do I go with the standard or compact? I'm leaning toward the compact, since I much prefer smaller PCPs. I'd need it to be backyard friendly though. Also, does the compact come with a...

Thanks again, everyone. I ended up deciding to hold off for now and wait until I can afford/justify a Sidewinder. $2250 is a lot of cash, but seems worth the wait. Wallace, I came close to purchasing that one. I'd prefer a .22 though.

Thanks so much, all. I didn't know that Snowpeak made a semi-auto. The M40 is tempting, considering the price and the fact that I've had great luck with many of their PCPs. I have shot both the Viper and Marauder - was not a huge fan.

Aren't the GK1s going for $1250 new? Bummer, I may just have to settle for the AEA. Truthfully, I don't need anything too fancy. Just something I can use for plinking and the occasional small pest control.

Thanks for the recommendations, everyone. I actually had my eyes on both the K1 and the Sidewinder compact. Unforuntately, I'm already stretching my budget at $1300. I may just have to keep a close eye on the classifieds. Just how bad is the AEA SF? It seems like a hit or miss PCP. At $750 its...

Hi all. I'm looking for recommendations for a .22 semi-auto PCP. I've browsed through the forums and found a few that stand out, specifically the GK1 and AEA SF. I'm hoping to keep the cost below $1300 and would like a carbine-length rifle. The GK1 stands out since I can convert it to a carbine...
