If you can find one a Benjamin marauder (p-rod) carbine is very light with a great trigger and ultra reliable magazine. They aren't that common in the UK but if you don't mind importing there are a few reliable European retailers that stock them.

One shot, one kill. Not luck, just skill.

SMK Artemis P15 is a bullpup and weighs 4.5lb. Best of both worlds because you already said you like the bullpup configuration.
You can spend thousands and still miss a barn door or spend just enough and enjoy yourself. If you haven't got the talent to start with a million pound won't fix it. Whippet, Russell, a few bang sticks and a flat cap.http://www.smart-tech1st.co.uk

Webley Spectre.

Better of with the FX Cyclone, same action as the Spectre, in a synthetic stock. Much lighter than the Spectre with the fishtail chequered stock.Originally Posted by zpaulg

Occasionally I'm asked to do pest control job in internal areas such as farm buildings and a riding school.
I've always used my trusty .22 Fenman but I've always fancied a short, lightweight, quiet PCP for the job possibly coupled with a "little Simmons" !

You could do a lot worse than a solid little 12" actioned Titan Bearcat, John (or if you have to, the later copy of the Bearcat, Falcon FN12). Add a threaded mod' adapter to the pencil-barrel, and you can also have quietness along with the british steel, brass and wood.
"FETCH IT THEN!!!!"
I have to say John, I'm really enjoying my shortened r10.. it may be a bit much weight wise mainly because of the bottle but in PCP world it's great as you can leave your charging kit at home because you know you have the shot count.
I think the ultras are great but again.. it's charging equipment for the low shot count.
The other argument is "if it ant broke don't fix it!!" And continue your love affair with your fenman

Many thanks to you all for your comments, I have been round various gunshops since I started this post and looked at all the guns suggested, Whilst i would love to buy them all, I cant afford it. I have got it down to the ultra or the contour S6, what I think is going to sway me is the lack of a barrel band on the ultra. In my opinion a bent barrel waiting to happen. I am going to see a fella in Surrey on Saturday who has a contour for sale. It has a right handed stock but a left handed action, not sure how I will get on with it, but he has kindly offered to let me have a look with no commitment. Watch this space!!
Even a stopped clock is right twice a day
Don't be deterred by the lack of a band, free floating barrels are good!
Plus the Ultras barrel is sturdy enough and well enough seated that anything that hit it hard enough to bend the barrel would do it band or no.
Good deals with these members

It looks very much like the Kral Bullpup, has the same 22mm picatinny rail and side lever cocking, be nice to find someone who had one to swap!!

You can but ask in the swap section.
