Ultrastu Posted January 30, 2020 Report Share Posted January 30, 2020 Rapids are very heavy . Bsa r10s are lighter but have pap regs (can be changed ) Scorpions are lighter and regless which makes them more reliable . .Aa.s410 xtra are verrrry long .An fx wildcat is a good option but not so cheap . I know if i had £500 for a .22 fac id go with the scorpion. If i had £1k probably an fx wc. If i had £1.5 k an fx impact . I guess it comes down to price .and how many shots you actually need . Why carry around a massive lump of steel that does 300 shots .when your most likely to only shoot 20 if your lucky my personal minimum shot count for any pcp is 30 .and i dont run out (when hunting very often --- see never ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eyefor Posted January 31, 2020 Report Share Posted January 31, 2020 (edited) I recently went through this exercise and also don't need a big (heavy) bottle for lot of shots when I'm out hunting / vermin clearing. After a lot of interweb investigation I went over to the dark side of electronic and, for not a lot more than your budget, bought a fabulous Daystate Mk4 IS Sporter .22 FAC which takes accuracy to previously unattained levels. I also have a non FAC BSA R10 .177 (John Bowkett tuned then needing Ratworks corrections - but that's another story) which is good - but the Daystate is at a much better level.
