I have a bunch of 22 pellets sitting around. My gk1 22 is on a gto only diet so im looking to get another 22 that can shoot a variety of pellets well if such a thing exists.

I would like something that is not too heavy and in the area of compact to mid sized. I would like to be able to externally adjust the power for 16-25 grain pellets and hold sub moa to 75 yards.

I was thinking a slash 22 compact, but they are still pretty fresh so i didnt pull the trigger.

Anyways, I want to hear what you guys have to say before I make a decision.

The fx maverick compact is not super popular anymore and might be had at a deal used. It can shoot all those well from first had experience.

I have a bunch of 22 pellets and hybrid slugs to play with now, so I built a disco to use em. Cheap cheap fun.

I like my Alpha wolf in .22. Will shoot the lite, medium and heavy. Just pick your poison and let her rip. All weights welcome.

I have the same question. I just bought a bunch of Crosman pellets. Looking to do some plinking.

New cphp or old? My disco loves those and it I had something to trade for old style cphp I might. The best pellet waster I have I couldn't in good conscience recommend, plus it's discontinued and riddled with small problems... My aea hpss can burn pellets up like nobody's business plinking semi auto. If you found one of those I'd send a couple replacment valves to trade for 2 tins of cphp 😂

All my BRKs are great plinkers with the CPHPs both the American and Spanish versions. I plink out to 102 yards with my Atomic (17 fpe), and lPathfinder. It’s my go to pellet for plinking fun. I save my JSBs for my Ghost for pests. An example of the foolishness…

There is an abundance of choice for a good and reliable .22 cal shooter. My Wildcat MK3 is easily tunable to the pellet of choice and my Impact, while taking a bit more finess, can be tuned in a similar fashion. I am currently working with an Epic Two 300mm that seems to be the cat's meow for me. It likes most pellets from FX Atomic at 15gr to JSB Exact Monster Light at 20 gr without having to change the tune. Oh and it has a CZ unchoked barrel which is opening the world of slugs for me.

I also looked at the Evol, Kalibrgun Snip, AirMaks Katran and ATG Uragan before purchasing the Epic. All great guns with stellar reputations, reviews and accuracy. It was the abilitly to tune everything externally and the choice of CZ or LotharWalther barrel that pulled me in.

I’ve been really thinking of the Pathfinder For extra shot count. Do you have one of those?

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…🙏

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.

Will the pathfinder shoot the heavier stuff well?
