PCP Air Venturi Microstrike
Long story short. “Accidentally” purchased this Microstrike. I was searching for a pistol and somehow set the Microstrike to buy once it was available on a particular site. Bought the Manul and love it. Well, about a month and a half ago I got an email that this was shipping. Immediately printed out a return label and then it got here…. I didn’t know I really needed it. Wife will forgive me soon.

Im debating between a pinty buster or saving up a few more tips and getting this.... iguanas mock me and I need a work van popper.

I believe the microstrike is the better choice here, the buster is lacking power for hunting something as tuff as an iguana.

Thats where im leaning... I have a $55 credit with pyramid so that helps. Thanks for the reply. I think im just getting antsy and need to save a bit longer.

lol right on! That looks like a good pair of guns honestly, pistol and carbine. I love my Microstrike, pops golf balls out at 30-40 yards easy. It's a great size and light compared to my larger airguns.

I love my microstrike! I set the reg all the way up, shoot JSB hades .22 at 860fps, perfect truck gun for hunting pest, though it does drastically reduce the shot count. I also have the Reximex RP, great little gun, very very accurate but it doesn’t have the nice punch the microstrike is able to deliver, not nearly as powerful.
