What's your favorite .25 bullpup and why?

[Long_Ranger]

I'm mostly a .22 shooter. Recently got a .25 Bobcat and just love it because it's insanely accurate, heavy enough for off hand shooting, has a great trigger, it's built to last and pretty easy to maintain.

I'd like to know if I'm missing anything other bullpups have to offer that my Bobcat doesn't.

Here is a fairly recent thread that may already have some of this info.

I’ve owned most of the big name brands and my personal favorite .25cal bullpup was my EDgun Matador Short due to its reliability and rugged build quality.

Still enjoying the heck out of my Wildcat 25. We had a little bit of a rocky start to our love affair, but now that I have a couple of kinks ironed out, I really like it. Very quiet and one of the most accurate guns I have. The only thing I think I have that is more accurate is my Crown. But, squirrels and other pest have my surrounding area marked with "keep out" yellow tape. Love the quiet little puff when you pull the trigger. And that fact that being shorter and having the balance back farther, makes it a great "point and shoot" gun. 
It gets around 48-54 shots on a charge.

I do wish it had a better gauge in it though. It stopped working about 2 weeks in. Does WIKI make a small gauge like this for a replacement ?

Myself I LOVE the Taipan Veterans. They are just solid guns with incredible triggers and very very smooth accurate shooters. My .25 was one of the most consistently accurate gun I owned at 50yds with the usual group being .4" or so. My .22 is up there with it though. Would love to try one of the Huma Magnum Edguns or whatever they call them.

I have never been the biggest bullpup fan but I do have an FX Impact in 25 and love it. Very accurate and well made. The only downside are the cheap magazines which aren’t really a big issue. It is also very quiet, even in the Canadian version without the silencing shroud.

I'm going with the Edgun Matador because of their build quality. If you ever had a problem with a oring it is simple to work on with ALOT of YouTube videos by the manufacturer on how to break the rifle down and repair it yourself. Very simple design with robust build quality.Very good regulators and a very consistent shot string that's very efficient.

It hasn’t been made yet...but I do like my Wildcat,its light and accurate....

The 33.95's shooting in the high 800's or low 900's is a powerhouse compared to the 25.39's. Surprisingly shooting the 25.39's at near 1000 fps my Cricket will stack them both. I won the barrel lottery with this gun.

I really like my Cricket .25. It’s simple to work on, simple design and deadly accurate. Just recently shot a 10 shot, 1.025” group at 100 yards. That squeaks by my .25 cal. Impact which shot a1.267” group that same day.

I love my .25 MK2 FX Bobcat. Immensely accurate, internally regulated, very quiet, has a great shot count even at full power and a lower power setting for closer pest control. I still look at Daystates & AirArms, but can’t justify getting one when my Bobcat (for me), seems to surpass them. I love the fact that it does exactly what it was made for (without the extra bling). I have an Atlas stubbie type bipod, Hugget Belita moderator, adjustable mounts and a Hawke Airmax scope. It is such a versatile gun and I look forward to the weekends that I can go and shoot it at 100m.

Power tuned cricket in .25 is tied with my .22 cricket as most accurate gun , however when the wind gets involved there is a lot less need to hold off with the .25 , I guess that's the biggest difference, but it is fun some days to grab the .22 and try and guess how much left or right to hold when it's windy.

Thank you all guys for such good info. I was thinking about Vulcan, but based on what I've read it seems I should give Edgun or Kalibrgun a shot, literally.

I'll keep enjoying my Bobcat, and will keep an eye for a used Matador or Cricket in .25.

Cheers

If decide on the Cricket, I suggest get a power tunned one from Charlie over at Georgia Airguns. It will shoot a lot harder, and he replaces the factory spring (it sucks) laps the barrel, and he has great customer service.

Sometimes a picture can help. 
Stock Cricket .25 .....................
11 consecutive Shots, after 1 sighter shot to confirm I'd be on paper for the group shooting 31 gr. Slugs. 
Used the group to hold wind-age and was able to put 4 in the can.
Next two were for penetration at 200 Yards on the Cedar 2x6 block. 
Soft wood but still clean pass through. 
This is just an example of what a Cricket can do on a calm day. 
Most days more like 2.5" - 3" groups @ 200 yards..........If I don't screw it up.

Long_shot - that's some fantastic shooting! Do you only see those results with slugs?

when shooting at 100 yards + wat magnification (zoom) do you set your scope !!! Thanx

My favorite is a .25 Marauder with a bullpup kit. Well balanced unlike a stock marauder. Turtle head accurate at 100 yards and less. Low enough in cost I am not worried about it like I would be with a Daystate or FX with nice wood stock. Powerful and easily tuneable for more power. Silent with a DonnyFL moderator.
