I just cancelled my Raptor .257 order due to 1) the overly long wait and 2) the disappointing reports by another member in a thread who received a .257 HP and was maxing out in the upper 120fpe range. I've decided that I want something with gobs more fpe for target shooting and taking care of rotten fruit and the like.
Here are my wants:
Some rifles I have no interest in: anything Texan and the Benji Bulldog - I prefer a nicer aesthetic.
What have I looked at:
I'm am very open to honest opinions on the above two rifles. Let me know of any other rifles I should look at.
Here are my wants:
- At least 300 fpe. Would prefer something around ~500 fpe with maybe a low setting.
- Min 357 caliber, but prefer the .452-.457 range.
- The more shots per fill the better.
- The shorter the better.

What have I looked at:
- Western Big Bore Bushback - seems to tick all the wants but is really long.
- Air Arms 452 Slayer Bullpup in Hunter config - OMG sweet gun, willing to pay for it, but out of stock and even the 357 Slayer has a 6 month build time - seems worth the wait though.
