Definitely a bullpup rifle and of the ones I've tried my favorite is the SPA/Stoeger P35/Bullshark. They are good for lefties due to the flush magazine, accurate, light, and adequately powerful.

I’m just the opposite. I like any rifle that is not a bullpup. I just don’t like balance of a pup on the bench and I shoot a lot from the bench. A bigger problem for me though is a bullpup puts the action so close to my face. I really don’t like the feel of the hammer strike so close to my ear and cheek bone. I may just be overly sensitive but it began to really bother me and led to me anticipating the shot; almost like flinching when anticipating recoil.

Currently, the rifle that gets the most “playtime” is my Walther LG400. It’s just perfect for my backyard which is where I shoot the most. I’ve only had it since earlier this spring so I can’t say it’s my favorite just yet but she is rapidly moving up the ranks.

A bolt action co2 powered rifle. Simple, accurate, and easy to maintain. Why make things more complicated than they need to be?

I was an original member of the, 'just say no to bullpups' club! 
Having said that, I am a hypocrite as I have an Uragan 2 but with a 700mm barrel so it feels more like a 'real' rifle than a bullpup! But also, the U2 is my least favorite rifle.
Long rifles with traditional rifle looks all the way!

I like the cheap ones that shoot cheap ammo really well.
Kinda like going to the local pub to have a few drinks and relax... I really don't care how I got there or how I'm getting home.

That is a tricky one, but after the FX Leopard came into tha house, and threw all my other guns out of the nest, I have used all my spare time feeding it`s hungry mouth. Well, except from the Steyr LP50, that demands to be filled up when I try to get some rest from the leopard.

For me it's 90's era springers, back when PCP's were still a new thing and Theoben, Venom, Whiscombe, etc... were all making high end springers and companies like Air Arms had a dozen or so different models. For plinking, I just prefer springers to all other types of airguns, (or firearms), and if a rifle happens to be well built and accurate and has nice bluing and a beautiful walnut stock, well, that's just the icing on the cake.

FX Boss. Not a lot of bells and whistles, but dose it shoot!
Looking at the responses, you can sense the wide range on interests in this hobby.

I took my HW40A and HW44 for a spin today before the wind got rude. Had to switch to the Ghost and bang some steel.

I too like bullpups. It started with the FX Bobcat then the Impact, Wildcat, Leshey1 and 2 and now the Taipan slash and FX leopard. Favorite? hard to say but I do shoot the Wildcat the most.

Wow! Points that I hadn't considered.
Bull pups can be a problem in Canada, but there are some that are legal.
I only shoot from the bench, so your cautions are important. I have no access to others' PCPs, so I have to buy, sight unseen, which can lead to great disappointments. You have spared me one. Thank-you.

Like most older members of The Forum, my favorite airguns have changed over the years. When I started out there were only CO2 pistols and break barrel springers, and Magnum power meant about 13 FPE.
After many airguns and too many years I have gradually moved to lighter, smaller and more powerful semi-automatics. I really liked my three Leshiy 2's when I had them. In the past few years though, as I wind down my air gunning activities, I have settled on two pistol-size air guns as my favorites.
Those are a standard length Huben gk1 with a folding stock. And a .68 caliber semi-auto CO2 pistelle X-68 with a slightly extended barrel that generates almost 40 FPE on the first shot on a warm day.
Back in the 1960s when I had my first (3 FPE) Crosman 600 CO2 pistol I never imagined that they would develop a CO2 pistol with that kind of power using only 12 gram disposible cylinders. It is very loud though due to the short wide barrel. Possibly louder than anything else I have owned since I briefly had a .357 AEA Challenger years ago.
