Hi all, I am looking for a good compact PCP for some good pesting and plinking fun but could use some personal advice/ experience. I've been looking into some different brands and models but really cannot make up my mind. I currently have a Taipan Vet standard in .22 that i bought last spring. love that gun. absolute beast. I'm now looking for a good quality and accurate compact PCP. Here's where my research has led me so far.
What I'm looking for:
The guns I'm currently disputing over
Questions I have that maybe users could help answer
As always, If you have any experience or input into my inquiries please feel free to add them, or if you have a different gun that you feel I should look into then please also add that! Please feel free to correct any of my information if it is wrong; I'm always open to learning new things.
I greatly appreciate any and all input. however, please do not simply put " +1 for blank airgun" I would like to know why you feel that way about the airgun your rooting for or not rooting for even.
thank you all in advance for you time and input!

What I'm looking for:
- high shot count
- ease of use/ tunability
- quality of build and can take a beating
- .22 maybe .177
- is it OEM quiet or will i need to purchase an after market moderator
- use for shooting rats and pest birds in and around barns at night with my night vision add on ( pretty close range)
The guns I'm currently disputing over
- Taipan vet compact: already have one in standard and love it. great trigger and ease of use, build quality, ergonomics, factory quiet etc. The only thing I worry about with the vet compact is shot count... talontunes has it for 1300 something dollars
- AGT Uragan Compact: shot count looks great ( I think around 90 shots on the reg at 830ish FPS with 18.13 grain ?) not sure how the trigger is as it looks like a plastic trigger... can also find this gun 200-250$ cheaper at Krale so there's a bonus as well. the mags seems easy to use and it comes with an extra moderator from Krale. ergonomics are good I assume?
- RTI prophet Performance Compact: the thing I really like about this gun the power output for such a small gun. I'm not sure about shot count though? was getting differing numbers in my research. the only problem i see is that I also would like to acquire a full length RTI prophet in .22. the thing I like about the full length prophet in the ability to easily change the barrel. talontunes has the compact on sale for 1575$
Questions I have that maybe users could help answer
- Taipan Vet Compact: what is the shot count like with differing grain pellets and what are compact vet owners shooting with this gun that may get them good accuracy and shot count?
- AGT Uragan Compact:
- How is the finish on this gun? what is the trigger like? can I mess around with the hammer spring easily? what's the build quality like?
- RTI Prophet Compact: What kind of shot count are you getting with this gun? what pellets are you shooting? can I mess around with the hammer spring easily? what's the build quality like? how's the trigger?
