Well that's what I'm calling it. I've enjoyed getting to use my Prophet Compact close to a month now. I've put over 2 tins of pellets through it already which is more than I've done in most my guns have seen throughout ownership. There is the fact alot haven't lasted more than a month or 2 though lol. Anyways I find this gun to, I believe, be THE gun for me.
What's nice also is the barrel system, while interchangeable, is quite rigid and have seen zero issues with POI changes on it. And with the Compact guns I can use a 500mm barrel and still keep this shroud setup. My plan was I wanted something where I can use the gun for higher power for slugs in either .177 or .22. I however wanted more air volume as 220cc shooting higher energy isn't very much for shot count.
So I wanted to look for something where I can add a decent amount of volume yet small enough I can have a moderator on top of it without hitting the bottle. Wanting to keep this gun as short as possible. Had a thread asking about a bottle in the 54mm OD range and larger than 220cc. Member TMH had a 370cc bottle that OD and with length measurements knew it was exactly what I wanted.
Here it is with a 0DB 110c moderator.
Comes in at a length of 30". I plan on picking up one of RTIs new barrels in 500mm length. The RPB .22s designed for use with slugs. I think I can have a real little fire breather with some light weight slugs. It might be 2-3 months though before the barrels come in for the Compacts. So for now will be using it for awhile in the spring as it's very windy. My gun seems to really like the RDMs as is and does very well with the 21gr H&N slugs resized to .216. With the 16" barrel and normally choked barrel I have pushed them to 940fps. There's more that can be had but don't need that much. Likely will tune in the 880s if the shoot well there. They've done well at 750fps.
Once the spring winds die down I'll likely make it into a compact again with the small bottle and ditch the LDC. What's nice is I made the switch in about 5 min this morning. Didn't need any wrench or anything to remove from reg. Came off easily and with the degas screw it's very simple to swap.
