I think I like this Bullboss

[Zombiebait]

My Bullboss .25 arrived yesterday along with a new Athlon Talos 4-16 x 40 Mil-dot scope. Got it all together and sighted it in this morning. I was very pleased that it arrived with a full 200 bar charge. Saved me a lot of work.

My shooting station is in my garage

Target at thirty yards. A little crooked due to the terrain...lol

Took 10 shots to sight in and then I shot a 5 shot group at the top bullseye. I was using H&N Baracuda 30.86 grain pellets.

All total this morning, 25 shots. Pressure dropped from 200 bar to 150. Is there any chance that means I might get 50 shots per fill?

So far I'm very pleased with this rifle. It is loud though. I see a Ronin in it's future.

Ah, the good old Bullboss. Built like a tank. I have punched the rainbow bridge ticket for many a raccoon with my Bullboss. It's a bit heavy. Last year when hurricane Florence came through, I set my Bullboss in the corner of the house facing the wind, and my house never moved! Truly a multipurpose air rifle. Seriously though, I like my Bullboss. I can go crashing through the woods day or night without worrying about throwing the rifle out of zero, like I do with some of my other rifles and their free-floating barrels. More than accurate enough to take small game at 50 yards or more. Papy_Yosh has a great magazine holder that mounts in the stock and holds two magazines. You should consider contacting him and getting one. I hope you end up enjoying your Bullboss as much as I do mine. I spied two break barrels on the garage wall, did I not? Welcome to the PCP world, if this is your first one.

Hey Iceman, the beast is built, that's for sure. I saw those mag holders on a thread I was reading. I'll check that out. Yes, it's my first pcp. Thanks a bunch for the welcome. We don't get many hurricanes in Arkansas, but It's nice to know I can weigh my house down if we get a tornado here...lol

25 is an awesome caliber. When you get the itch one day to jump to a 30 cal, consider the Hercules Bully, also made by Hatsan. Comes from the factory shooting a 44.75 grain pellet at 1075 FPS, just like their specs show. It’s my favorite pcp that I own.

 

[Zombiebait]

That sounds like a great gun. I'll look into it. Thanks for the tip, Bigragu.

Ha! I've had this one for one day and you guys got me talking about getting another one already. My wallet is crying.

 

[CampFussell]

Hot Dawg Mr. Massey. You go all out when you do something. Love the way you have your garage set up with the pellet tin holders on the wall and that nice Caldwell shooting table, and targets, and extra springers hangin' there just in case.

Gonna be hard to go back to those springers after you've tasted the Bullboss though. Great shooting and good looking gun!

[Zombiebait]

Thanks Fuss. I got the "all out" thing from my dad although, unlike him, I tend to go a little overboard at times...lol. It did give me something to do with a pile of scrap lumber. I hope it's not too hard to go back to springers, I've got a bunch of ammo that needs shootin'.

 

[Saltlake58]

Nice gun, shows what can be done with a PCP.

As for going back to springers, PCP's shoot the same ammo. Just pick up a PCP in the right caliber and like magic, you can shoot all that old ammo

 

[Zombiebait]

Thanks Saltlake. You guys should get paid as salesmen...lol. I really don't mind shooting my springers. Each one has a different purpose. They're all good.

I always liked my Hatsan guns. Don't know how loud the Bullboss is but I DO know when I screwed on a Donny FL to the end of my BT65, .25, QE shroud it became MUCH more quiet & ACCURATE! Yes, it made it longer & heavier but sitting on a Caldwell Deadshot stand, who cares? Always loved how hard hitting my Hatsans were.

 

[Hyperdave]

Great photos and nice target results, too! It's always fun to see people's home shooting range, especially after I put a fair amount of time and effort into making my own better this year. Now I look at my friend's homes with jumbo back yards and say "you gotta try this Airgun hobby"!

BTW, what part of Arkansas, my father is in Mt. Home...

 

[Zombiebait]

Hey Gerry. There's a mod in this guns future. Might not be the Ronin, but it's gonna get one.



Hyperdave, that's actually my side yard. I can shoot 75 yds if I move my table into the yard. I'll get around to that. Got 10 acres here but it's all wooded and mostly very uneven. Behind the house it drops off nearly 400 feet. I'm not far from Mt. Home. Near Omaha in Boone Co.

 

[Hyperdave]

Ten acres is awesome, I have to make do with one acre, but I do have an honest fifty yard setup across the slope and a bunch of forty yard and below targets up a steep hill (which is backed up by a rough/steep land "preserve"). A Hatsan AT-44W 25 cal got me into PCPs and it's been reliable and hard-hitting (pictured here) shooting 25 grain JSBs at 925 fps.

 

[Zombiebait]

That's a nice setup. That gazebo looks like a great place for a nap.lol. Here's a pic of the back of my house from the opposite ridge top. Shows the drop off I was referring too. Very little of this acreage is useful to humans.

 

[Hyperdave]

Yep, I can relate, the land preserve behind me is almost unwalkable unless you like poison oak! Sometimes the best thing about acreage, useable or not, is the separation from other developed properties... especially if you're into things like shooting

 

[Zombiebait]

You nailed it. No one can build and mess up my nice view. This is from the back porch.

 

[Papy_Yosh]

Oh man, your place in the winter is looking beautiful. You have a nice setup there.

Welcome to the PCP addiction, you will have to set limits for yourself to not be attracted by too many shiny PCP. 

I think it is a good drug, my wife disagrees...

 

[Zombiebait]

Thanks Papy. Yeah, I think I might feel a little addiction coming on. Feels good...lol.

 

[Rasberryrl]

Thats a sweet indoor range! I'm envious. I set up targets and pellet trap on my dock at 35 yards away to shoot out of my basement walkout (Michigan)... it gets COLD in the winter though. I have 4 Hatsans and I am interested in the BullBoss .25. It used to be easier to trust the FPS/FPE numbers advertised by Hatsan but not so much anymore. Wondering if you did any chronograph testing along with your accuracy testing?

Thanks

From what I remember, my non-regulated tank would give me the usual bell curve. At the highest velocity of the plateau, I would get in the 920-940fps.with the Huma reg set at 150, I would get in the 870 with the JSB 25.4g. But they would be consistent and I would get some extra shots too. I went from 20-22 total (10-12 at the plateau) non-reg to 25-27 very consistent groups with the reg. My son and I could shoot groups up to 70 yards that would kill anything that was on his way in a sub MOA manner. Above that, the pellets would start to drop significantly. With that said he shot a monster 5'9" iguana for a heat shot at 96 meters (105 yards) shooting 3 pellets until he found the right elevation. As many said, that gun is built like a tank, weighs like a tank and hits like one. But You can trust it. Open the carrying box, put some air, some pellets and start shooting. It doesn't need any warm-up or pre-maintenance like other fancier AG might need.
