I have the Bantam in 177. Can't remember the exact velocity, but It does 18.5 fpe on high. A full fill gets 140-200 shots depending on power setting. Accuracy is great for what I do, which is informal targets and plinking. The lothar barrels are very accurate.

I have the Compatto .22cal, very light, accurate and good shot count, I think both rifles are great, whichever you choose you will like, depending on the application for it , of course.
At first, when I got the Compatto, my thoughts were, not a lot of rifle here, due to the skeleton stock but after a few shots and zeroing the scope, I thought yoh!!, nice little rifle and the accuracy at 30m was very impressive with most pellets in the same hole (jsb's 15.89gr), if it's for plinking or small game 18fpe does the job nicely, at 25m I shoot TV remote control AAA batteries all day long.
Velocity on my at full power is around 860fps/26.10fpe 15.89gr pellets

I had the 25 and I loved it. You can see the influence Daystate has had in the fit and finish. Very light, accurate and cycled as well as any other bolt gun or better. The shot count was not that great though. I really want to try the Bantam too, looks great. At 1000 bucks it seems to be much less of a ripoff than most other crazy priced PCP airguns.

I have one in .22, I shoot at home and I'm fairly limited to 30 yards. I am still learning it, but can give you some feedback: I wish it was regulated, but I can shoot about 25 solid shots from full. It will stack pellets on Medium (14-16 grain) and High (18 grains) powers, but it's hit or miss on low power. Like most, it likes the JSBs, but it shoots the H/N Hornets with deadly precision as well (these will take a pig) The riffle is pretty quiet, I hear a ping followed by pellet slap on target. Mine is the Huggett variant, and it came un-glued, I can remove it at will. If you will be hunting/pesting, it will serve your purpose just fine. If you like to target a lot, you may be better served by the Bantam. The built in picattini rail is a nice touch. As for the upcoming regulated model, who knows until it's out. Personally if I was deciding right now, I would buy the Bantam at current price, or wait on the regulated Compatto. The only thing I don't like is buying such expensive toys from so far away places who's service and or knowledge is questionable and or shaky. I believe my next gun will purchased locally from Georgia. Feel free to PM me with any questions on the .22 Compatto.
