Rimfireboy Posted March 6, 2014 Report Share Posted March 6, 2014 Have you seen these? P12 I think. Don't know anything about them but they're from china so should be cheapish? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RED BEARD Posted March 6, 2014 Report Share Posted March 6, 2014 What's fac got to do with it? Surely the decision is down to whether you like/can shoot well with a bullpup style gun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theskyfox Posted March 6, 2014 Report Share Posted March 6, 2014 Why should it make a difference if its non-fac? The whole idea of a bullpup design is nothing to do with power. The idea is to enable the barrel to sit in the space the stock would normally go and therefore reduce the length of the rifle. Blackpool air rifles I believe have started stocking a number of different bullpup designs. They look rather unconventional, but I'm sure are just as capable as any other type of rifle. If you were to look at going FAC then you'd probably want to go for something with a huge reservoir like a Theoben or Daystate as you'd be more interested in the power you can get then. -Andrew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt_ Posted March 6, 2014 Report Share Posted March 6, 2014 Have you had a look at evanix range... Acquired taste but bullpups none the less Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bullet boy Posted March 6, 2014 Report Share Posted March 6, 2014 Personally I like Bullpup rifles and got a Daystate Bullpup here. The Evanix Bullpups look nice and so does the new FX Bobcat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

secretagentmole Posted March 6, 2014 Report Share Posted March 6, 2014 Are the Evanix nice? Erm yep, only downside is the action can sound a little noisy as it is right next to thine lug hole! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dekers Posted March 7, 2014 Report Share Posted March 7, 2014 Are the Evanix nice? No, but so what, if they do the job that is the important thing. Lots of pig ugly rifles about, the quarry doesn't give a hoot what the rifle looks like if it is dead! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happyshooter Posted March 7, 2014 Report Share Posted March 7, 2014 (edited) No, but so what, if they do the job that is the important thing. Lots of pig ugly rifles about, the quarry doesn't give a hoot what the rifle looks like if it is dead!

pegasus bridge Posted March 7, 2014 Report Share Posted March 7, 2014 I can't remember the name of it, but I remember an article about a 96 shot pcp bullpup i read as a teenager, wanted one almost as much as a Theoben eliminator HE! Although I'm going to scratch that itch one day for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had the standard 2000 but my mate had the bull pup version without a hole in the stock. I hated mine if think about it :( then sold it for a brand new mk3 protarget Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I'm going to scratch that itch one day for sure.It was the Skan Bullpup, not sure what power they ran at but probably a lot of fun as a plinker.

RED BEARD Posted March 8, 2014 Report Share Posted March 8, 2014 i had a 96 shot skan bullpup years ago,they are a very well made gun.think they ran at about 11.5ft/lbs or there abouts.wish i'd not sold mine,but when i was young i couldn't afford to keep buying guns.
