Looking for a little companion pistol to bring on hunts with me. Could be .25 or .22. Accuracy is a must. People are doing 'finishing shots' with their full powered gun and I feel it is a little overkill for me. Plus if i exhaust my PCP charge, I would like to have an accurate backup. 

Most of my kills are quick either heart or head. Just want that extra shot not counting against the fill of the rifle. 

Saw lots of people using the Marauder pistol, anything else? A Smooth Twist?
 
Small to medium game. Coyote and smaller basically. This is more of a just in case companion. Then again, my children hunt and shoot with me so it might end up being one of theirs for when we are out hunting. 

As for MATCH grade, probably not where I want to be right now. Still accuracy is a factor I want to be able to get farther out with it if I decide to just take it out with us or pack it in a pack. 

Edgun I was watching for awhile in the pistol area. Still availability is not great. 

Thanks Ted. i'm going to start my research process. \


Michael, someone recently posted an old video, they were finishing off the rabbits with a marauder. Great video, great hunters, but still. I felt at that range it was overkill. Just reminded me I should have something other than my knife. If I have an issue where my shot was not clean and I walk up on an injured animal. I normally just dispatch them with my knife. 

Luckily I have not had an issue a Coyote or similar sized game yet, but there is a danger factor that I could avoid with a PCP pistol as a companion./ 

When looking on sites like PA, and AoA, the selections are not as large and since each of the dealers carry different product. The variables are vast/.

I know. I got tired of the wait and such with all of Ed's gear. I really wanted to get my hands on one of the pistols and an Matador. Just wasn't meant to be. The time frames get boned and... Whatever, moving on. Now the Bobcat is backordered. Thought I was getting her this week too. Big upsets. At least I know who and What I am dealing with now. 

As for pistols. Haven't gone through all the motions of research yet. Liked the LOOK of the ranchero. Especially a Shrouded one I came across. Lots of options.

AoA literally has my money right now. Made a deal to pay them in full by the end of the month (June) and my understanding was they would set it aside. Was also told not to worry that they have plenty in stock. It is a normally stocked item and the only backordered item was the wildcat.

Asked if they had the DayState Wolverine 303 Hi-Lite available instead so I could give them more money. That way I could take the kids out for some family bonding time. NO dice there either. 

Might just have to get a Marauder Pistol off amazon Prime same day delivery so i can stay true to my word. http://www.amazon.com/Benjamin-Marauder-PCP-Air-Pistol/dp/B003KP1PYW/

These retailers are brutal. No discounts of any kind. Military, poor man, just because, new customer, nice guy, forum, holiday, price match, - nada. Not going for it. Must say it is a first for me. Even the people selling PB's are willing to help me out a little on things.
