    What's your favorite "backpack" gun?

    Thanks everyone. Sonny, I'm not sure I'm prepared to lie that way lol. Even to pretend. Somehow the idea of pretending to play Tennis is less offensive, I suppose because to me it seems more trivial than music. I do play guitar, so I have a guitar case and a guitar bag that could work...

    What's your favorite "backpack" gun?

    It's expensive and looks like a pain to use, but that edgun leshiy is mighty fine... I'm interested in more compact guns, as somone living in a city. I'm interested to know what your favorites are, and I do realize that "favorite" is always subjective. As a bonus, any backpacks or smaller...

    When will the rest of the Kral line make it to the US?

    Frankly, I'm not concerned with "rip-offs" if Kral is able to produce results that are as good or nearly as good at a greatly reduced price. I think those kinds of aggressive maneuvers are good for the market (at least for us buyers). And rather than showing some kind of lack of creativity, my...

    What gets your vote for best value bullpup or semi-bullpup?

    Ah, don't know how I missed the listing on Talon tunes. Maybe I just forgot. In any case, they're out of stock, but I'll be keeping an eye on them.

    Broncato's site is a trip. Tough to navigate, but I think he's the only US seller of the Kozak that I've seen so far. Thanks for the resource.

    When will the rest of the Kral line make it to the US?

    Haven't been able to find any info on the Nemesis, Space, or Revolt that you can see here on the Kral website. https://kralarms.com/en/kategori/air-rifles/ They're really nice looking guns, and if they're priced as competitively as the Puncher series they could fill a lot of gaps in the...

    What gets your vote for best value bullpup or semi-bullpup?

    Thank you for all your replies. At the current moment, it seems there are two main paths to go down - midrange or high-end. If I go for a midrange bullpup, a Kral is likely my best bet. They have some semi-bullpups up on their website that I can't find any information on, but I hope they will...

    What gets your vote for best value bullpup or semi-bullpup?

    Thank you for bringing the Kozak to my attention shutik - it's beautiful, and seems like quite an attractive option at $800. What do you mean when you say it is air inefficient? The website says it gets 60 shots in .22, but I'm generally skeptical of the stats that manufacturers provide. Is it...

    What gets your vote for best value bullpup or semi-bullpup?

    The Cricket does sound like a standard setter. I hope to hear more about Taipan models - while expensive, they seem relatively under the radar considering their quality.

    What gets your vote for best value bullpup or semi-bullpup?

    Guys, I asked for what gets *your* vote for best value. I'm perfectly content to hear you explain your answer in the context of your own value system. I can learn from that. I don't expect any objective analysis, because I don't believe it to be possible. Trust me to sort through it all. As far...

    What gets your vote for best value bullpup or semi-bullpup?

    Hey all, thank you for your replies. I knew going in that I would be hearing about the puncher breaker - it does seem like a game changer, and could very well be the first air gun I own. However, I do love the look of the Bantam, and have only heard good things about it. My thought process on...

    What gets your vote for best value bullpup or semi-bullpup?

    It seems this category has become much more competitive in recent years, and that the trend will only continue. Compact air rifles are no longer restricted to those who can drop $1800 on a rifle. Which one gets your vote for best value?

    Is it possible for a gunsmith in the USA to modify a 12fpe British gun for power

    Could a US gunsmith or airgun expert modify a 12fpe gun to take it up to a more conventional US power level, like 30-40? If it is possible, is that an expensive or risky process?
