Mrod v B50/51

[painless]

Are these close enough in size and weight that there is no real difference in portability between the two?

The CZ S200 is on my short list as my first PCP, but is it really in the same class as the other two mentioned in power for small game and pest varmint control? Accuracy on the CZ is not in question as I understand that even in stock form, straight out of the box, it is typically crazy accurate.

The Mrod an the B51 I have are close in weight, as for size I find the B-51 a bit more slim with most of it's weight in the air tube(thing is solid/heavy steel). I have shot my friend's CZ an it is a feather, would make a good all day carry gun an I believe he has gotten the velocity up with some work.

Like Jay said they are about the same weight. I have both in .22 cal and the B-50 is a lot less pellet picky than the M-Rod. I do find myself shooting the M-Rod more because of the mag.

I shoot my Mrod more because of the 10 shot mag, and because it's so much quieter. It's quieter than any of my springers, co2, or pcp guns.
I need to get back to work on my B50. I'm modding it to try to get the most power I can, while retaining good hunting accuracy.
To me, the B50 feels a good bit lighter than the Mrod.
I've thought about buying an Mrod barrel shroud and making my own end cap and baffles (drilled off center) so I can install it above center of the barrel to allow it to be used without a riser breech. I just don't want an LDC hanging off the end of the barrel. It'll require me to make a new barrel band, but that's not a problem.
I'd also like to install iron sights, but the BSA 4-16 scope works just fine.

Haven't chronied the Mrod yet, and haven't chronied the B50 since I modded the valve and transfer port, but they're both powerful.
The Mrod puts CPHP and Beeman Kodiaks through both sides of a 55 gallon steel drum at 30-40 yards with 2,200-3,000 psi in the tube.
My Benji 392, B40, B30 .22s and my G1 Extreme, RWS 48, and HW95 .177s won't do that and they're plenty powerful enough for squirrels and rabbits.
The G1 Extreme goes supersonic with lead free pellets, so I know it's got plenty of power on tap with lead pellets.
My B30 is running 775 fps with Superdome 14.5 grain pellets.

They both shoot Kodiaks and Superdomes well.
The Mrod seems to prefer Kodiaks.

I think it's going to be between the CZ or the BAM.

Seems like an unlikely pair to be piting against one another, does it not?

I will likely end up getting both, just have to get through that first one.

Thanks.

you could throw name of all 3 in a hat and just pick 1. you'll still get a gun that you'll love.

John, can you PM me with a web address for the retailer who has the RWS 16mm brake? I've been trying to find one for my B50 but can't find one.
It would be easier than making a riser breech or an offset shroud.
