I am looking for my first Bullpup to hunt rabbits with and ordered the Kral Puncher Breaker. After much research I have found the Kral to be under-powered for downrange (70 - 90 yrd) shots in .22. I have a couple .25 PCP's I can you but I would like to try the shorter format and lighter weight of a Bullpup. Also I am unnerved at all of this issues I have discovered in the Kral Breaker reviews (don't seem to be getting a response from Troy at Annihilator airguns regarding getting the Breaker issues fixed and tuned). Anyway the Armada seems to offer the power, weight, accuracy I desire. Thanks
Can the Benjamin Armada be configured as a Bullpup?

Troy has been going through personal issues and is held back a bit by them currently.
I personally wouldn't spend the money to convert a marauder or armada to bullpup, but thats because the bpup stocks cost around 400-500$ which is the same cost of a new rifle. Sure it can be done but at quite the cost IMO. I don't have much room to talk as I spent around 300$ converting my marauder rifle into a carbine that shaved off 11" and 2+ lbs.
If your only issue with the Kral Puncher Breaker is lack of power, that is easy to remedy.Troy does amazing work with these. If I were to go full bull pup I would buy one that comes that way from the factory.

Great Info, thanks! I will keep trying to catch up with Troy (I only get 30 days with PA though before I have to decide). BTW 11" and 2+ pounds? sounds like a good deal to me!

Lee aka Vash545 is on this site, he makes the adjustable/compact stock, which I modified a bit, and with an aluminum air tube from JSAR (I had Lee do mine) you save 1.5 lbs, plus with my stock modifications I lost a bit over another .5 lb. JSAR also has an AR stock option for a similar price to Lee's kit which isn't bad looking. Its an alternative way to skin the cat for ya but its a bit cheaper. You can see JSAR's version on their website if you google Jefferson State Air Rifles. My version is pictured below. Both options are a bit cheaper than bullpup kits. Although if you want the full bullpup experience, I'd stick with a side lever as the cocking for a marauder would be very awkward being behind your ear lol.

Hi Rasberryrl,
would you tell me more about the Puncher Breaker being underpowered? (I had been considering it as my future bullpup.)
(1) How much power do you expect it to have?
(2) For what purpose or type of shooting?
(3) What pellets do you plan on using?
Thanks for your input and helping me think through my purchase decision!
