    Interesting new pcp bullpup ?

    Seen this on Gunstar today .

    http://www.gunstar.co.uk/Air-Rifles/...e-gs40578.aspx


    A bit pricey and not ideally located but nice looking thing imo esp the little compact model .

    After the apparant demise of the Skan rifle we have a serious lack of bullpup air rifles available and I for one would love an ultra compact full power model with the usual benefits from a bullpup of a full length barrel in a compact package .

    Looks like it could do with a bit of whittling

    The stock looks a bit crude and unfinished .

    Not good for £1400

    I think I would prefer composite furniture on the likes of this anyway , personally .

    The Bullpup design was for multi-shot semi-auto guns.
    I suppose if you had an arm moved to the position your ear would normally occupy and vice-versa they'd make more sense in an air rifle, provided you moved an eye to where it could check pellet seating

    I think I get you Nick yep .

    Bullpup - great for assault rifles , not so good for conventional air rifles ......

    Anyway , I have owned a few and they all felt " funny " and strangely overweight .

    I still think that if a multi shot pcp action could be adapted to suit it would work .

    They are v pointable .

    Would make a brill ratter .

    i made enquiries and shat myself when i was infomed that the gun was £1200, up front and supplied as soon as a method of getting the gun to the uk was found. needless to say, buying a white elephant with zero dealers and zero backup put me off.

    Just more Edguns, and still just as UGGGLIE!!! Obviously designed by a guy with a white stick and a guide dog. Give the drawing board to the dog maybe???

    Bullpup

    I think GNIB do a bullpup stock, very much the same, better finnish, with a kit to convert a s 400/410 into one of these, almost identical to look at.

    i have the edgun matador, the version before the r3, and a guy called rudan who comes on here and as bought the r3 recently from ed, and it took about 3 weeks same as mine to get here, dealing with ed direct is considerably cheaper. there is also a company called pekator works from the netherlands they make a bullpup kit for various rifles. they make you the stock and the gearing to set up easily yourself which ever gun you choose, i am having a kit made for my hw100. along with my daystate harrier bullpup i will have 3 then. not everyones cup o tea i know you either love them or hate them...

    I could see the point of a bullpup air gun if it was breakbarrel with the cyl in the stock, after all workings in the stock was the sole purpose of the design in a cartrige gun.

    If you want a compact pcp FX Verminator has it all.
