Looks like it could do with a bit of whittling
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???

Nowt wrong with the Bullpup principle but a bit crap in air guns that are not semi auto due to the need to break position to reload.
However as a vehicle gun, they are excellent unless you get too animated and start swinging it around in the inside and muzzle sweep.
The basic principle allows for a longer or std barrel to be used in what would ordinarily be a carbine plus better ergonomics etc.
It is not without its difficulties though - particularly iro the trigger dept. and loading on a non mag variant air version.
Love them or loathe them, I would look at a bullpup for hft where single shot and positional shift after one shot would be ok so long as it had big enough lungs.
Hunting in single shot or with the cocking lever so close to your earole.....not worth it
In a battle of wits I refuse to engage with an unarmed person.
To one shot one kill, you need to seek the S. Kill only comes from Skill
there is no more need to break position with the matador than there is any other single shot airgun, and the trigger is as good as any i have fired and i owned a dozen till i reduced my collection recently. the gun shoots a minimum of 120 shots so more than enough for hunting or hft.. i have a custom 6 shot mag that attaches to mine but ed as made some prototype multishot versions although i prefer my custonm as it still gives me a single shot option. putting your ear near the cocking lever is what puts a lot of folk off i admit but this is were you either like them or loathe them comes into play, i prefer my matador to all my other airguns, and from all the enquiries i get i think it would sell well here, unfortunatly ed as a small scale operation and isnt really equiped to to import as many as seem to be requested...

no its russian and originally was a copy of the edgun and was until recently a small scale operation. they have been taken over by a much larger company that is the newer bullpup design they still sell the original and if you look on the site they now do target rifles.. i read at the time the company was taken over that they intended to do imports i on a larger scale in the near future....
