Higher End PCP Gun's . Pet Peeve List

[JungleShooter]

Don’t add unnecessary bloat stock to a bullpup.

Where the action ends, that’s where the gun should end, because the idea of a bullpup is to be short — yet provide a full length barrel!

(Now, that would mean to move the trigger forward for an appropriate LOP, of course.)

Here’s a list of offenders and by how much they bloated your bullpup stock. Also listed are the good guns – some of them surprisingly inexpensive, yet super short – at full power.

Have a way to safely decock the gun – or provide a safety lever* — and that should be close to the trigger hand.

Here’s a list of violators in the bullpup realm — and those that did good:

*My friends, please don't judge me for wanting an additional level of safety — of course my first safety level is my trigger finger! But there are situations when hunting where a shot does not materialize, and I need to put the gun away again, or continue driving, or hiking, or what not....

FX - A $120 plastic mag that is riddled with issues and doesn't cycle consistently...Come on FX, really.

I can't say there's any comments so far that I don't agree with. Great points and thread!

A loaded chamber indicator would be nice. On my FX Royals if the safety will engage it means the gun is cooked but is it loaded? I have luckily never double loaded but it's easy.

If you double load don't you have two pellets in the breech? Same as having one in the breech, if you're cocked it's ready to fire.. They will both fire if trigger is pressed. Always fire (in a safe direction) to discharge the pellet in your gun when finished shooting. Then put the safety on. That way you know you are not loaded, and the gun is safe.

What's wrong with having a safety that goes on if your gun is cocked and loaded? The safety keeps you from firing the gun, not having it unloaded. When you want to fire you just release the safety and pull the trigger. Bang. That's how hunters do it.

Including a set of o-rings would be nice. If not, at least a list of the sizes would be appreciated, Daystate.

Why would they give you o rings? Then they can't sell them to you later. Kinda like what Joe B does. Sell you a kit for $12 that includes one o ring and nothing else. LOL What a rip off.

As far as I know, in Steyr rifle, the pellet is "shot" from the magazine. Therefore pretty much impossible to double feed. Cycling the action only move the magazine to the next pellet.

- Wonder why other manufacturers are not doing it?
