They are really good if your in the hide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ultrastu Posted June 2, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2020 Cheers guys im really pleased how its turned out .i was gonna add a camo patten to the grey but i cant find my camo paints .any ways i really like it as is.so its staying . I fitted a sling .and it feels really comfy on the shoulder .kids like it too . The ergonomics feel great to me . I re fitted the action back in the stock.and the first 5 pellets (jsb exact ) went through 1 tiny hole at 25 yds spot on zero where i left it . That never happens when a gun has been out of a stock . This scorpion t10 was obviously a very accurate gun .just wearing a naff mk3 scorpion stock .this bullpup configuration has breathed new life into an excellent gun .i can see this getting a lot of use over the years to come . I just hope the poor sod who traded it in for id guess £200 didnt walk out of the gun shop with a **** gun ? that leaks and is only half as accurate as this scorp. Now you see what the small platform in front of the trigger guard is for . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultrastu Posted June 2, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2020 The scope is a hawke 4-12 x 40 map 6 Perfect mag and spec for a 177 exact zeroed at 35 yds sub 12 .with a 2 inch bore height. It took me ages to find one . But this has been in my scope stock pile for a couple of years waiting for a bullpup to go on . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mice! Posted June 2, 2020 Report Share Posted June 2, 2020 Send a picture to BSA, ask if they want to see how to make a proper bullpup, 👍👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultrastu Posted June 2, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2020 Cheers mice . But I feel that would be a waste of my time . Hah. Thing is bsa could EASILY still make this based on the scorpion se .with a gauge on the end of the air tube and an extended breech block for the scope . Simple trigger linkage and sell it for the same price as a normal scorpion (around £580 )and make a mint i think . Crikey they made the jsr for £ 360 If they can do that why not make these pups for £400 and steal some trade from smk and kral etc . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr.C Posted June 3, 2020 Report Share Posted June 3, 2020 For some reason the stock looks alot less bulky in flat grey and the swivel platform makes sense too. Recon you could slam that scope lower too but if its right for your zero then crack on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultrastu Posted June 3, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2020 Cheers thing is if i make the fore end much slimmer then is makes the rear of the gun look too bulky. Creating a visual imbalance. There are loads of bull pups that are like that .and they just look awkward . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisjpainter Posted June 3, 2020 Report Share Posted June 3, 2020 You've done a cracking job there, sir. That's a really nice gun. Its looks born out of functionality as well as aesthetics, excellent stuff. I think it's very difficult to make a bullpup look good; the design and style just doesn't help to make them good looking as well as balanced, but yours works a lot better. The rear and butt are particularly well done. Really impressive. I'm glad you finally got the image in your head into real life! Worth the wait, I hope!

Ultrastu Posted June 3, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2020 (edited) Thanks very much . It claimed its first scalp this eve. A squirrel that came to my bird feeder . 15 yds and a jsb exact and it didnt stand a chance. What was good, is that i took the shot standing , free hand and the gun balanced very well making the shot easy .

Ultrastu Posted June 6, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2020 My daughter and i sat waiting for barn owls this evening. And a couple of small rabbits were playing peekaboo out the long grass around 25 yds away .this kept us entertained while we waited . She shot her first rabbit this eve.with the t10 bullpup .. She waited and waited for the perfect shot listening to my advice and when the ideal shot presented she took it . 23 yds and the pellet placement couldn't have been any more perfect 10 /10. She shook like a leaf for 5 mins afterwards. But is very pleased with herself .running the whole host of emotions (as it should be) .needless to say im very proud and over the moon . We also got to see the barn owls and a little owl too. So the rabbits were left out on the top of a tractor under the owl box for there night time snack.
