not the same class of gun, depends on what you want to put your money on .. i'll tell ya, the akela although nice has been hangin on the wall since i got a bulldog lol ... go bigger .. its better lol ...

Thanks for answer,i have a bulldog ,i put a regulator on it and tj barrel and shoot very well ,i have a cricket .25 ,just i missing .22.

I know there is very good bullpup but the price is a little high for me,

I sow this two in my price range and i dont know what to by

This bulldog look relly nice

Hi Martin. Welcome to AGN. I believe that you would not need to put a regulator into the Akela. I have two other guns from the same manufacturer, and my shooting buddy has/had the Kratos. None of those need a regulator. Airguns can get to become a gee-whizz trap.

The 5 year Crosman warranty on the Akela is hard to beat.

The general question that should always be asked...what is your intention with the gun? 

The wrong gun, as is the bulldog above, is not helping you within your framework. The bulldog is a .357 (9mm) gun for hunting. It would be silly for a backyard target plinker, or a high volume bird eraser. Air cost and pellet cost should be considered. I often shoot 500-200 pellets a month. We don't know what would fit your needs.

if you get the zbroia you won't have the cost of the regulator for the akela , I can't commit on the Akela, but I have The Cayden and I don.t think that it needs a regulator ,at least for my needs,( NOT TRYING TO START UP A TAG POST ON REGULATORS OR STEP ON THIS POST IN REGUARDS TO REGULATORS ) BUT I get a good consistent, accurate shot string, and decent shot count . I don't know about Zbroia's warranty but the Benjamin is 5 yrs.. both are nice bullpups. The Kozak is a looker no doubt but if money is a factor buy the akela forgo the reg and buy more pellets!

Hi jim

Yes,i want the gun for target shoot on backyard,i can shoot above 50_100 yards.

With bulldog i cant do that,i have neihgbors to close,and this gun shoot hard.

The akela is cheap and have very good warranty.i dont know why the zbroia call my attention

 

[CampFussell]

I was over at a friends Friday and his .22 Akela was shooting just as tight of groups as my .22 Vulcan. Plus he was shooting the cheaper 14.3 grain crosman domes and still stacking them just as tight as my JSB 18.1 grain that my Vulcan loves.

I've never shot a Zbroia, so it could be just as good if not better. I don't think you could go wrong with either.



Good luck

I have a Kozak. It's my favorite rifle. The build quality is excellent. Warranty is 2 years.

I do not have any experience with the Akela. I considered it, but I felt like the rear cocking lever would be awkward. The semi-bullpup action on the Kozak is very comfortable, as is the cheek rest.

I’m not bashing an Akela but your question is easily answered for me when you look at where each gun is made. I have neither gun but it’s a no brainer for me. Zbroia.

 

[ClarkT]

Zbroia all day. They are very accurate and well built. I have a 450 FC and couldn’t ask for a better shooting gun.

 

[Martin6925]

Thanks to all

Am still thinking,about,i have until friday to make a decision.i like the price on the akela,but i like the regulators on the zbroia.

I’ve had the Zabroia Kozac FC 550 for about a year. I’m very please with it. It’s my first bullpup. The rear cocking side lever is not an issue for me. But I will admit I was somewhat concerned. 

 

[Martin6925]

Very nice rifle

Crosman dropped the free shipping. Unless they brought it back in the last week or so.

[JimNM]

knife, I know they've had some problems with their new website. it may be worth trying to call it in on Friday and see if you can ask for free shipping.



NOPE!! I just found out that the Friday free shipping ended last December. Sorry for the bad advice. I don't like to be wrong, but it happens twice a day at least.
