Looks like I am late to this party, make sure to type @ before my name tag so I can get a notificationI currently own 4 PCPs, all in .22, and all in bullpup configuration. They are an EDgun R3M, an FX Wildcat( Mk1 heavily modified), an FX Impact (M3 compact) and an AGT Uragan2 (700mm) that I recently got from Derrick Wall. For some reason, off which I am sure many of you will understand, I’m wanting to add a new gun. All I know at this point, is that it won’t be a .22 bullpup. I do prefer short guns and obviously favor bullpups, I just don't need another In .22. So three things kinda blow my skirt up and they’re just as different as can be. I love the idea of a short Vixen as has been discussed recently in a couple of threads, but in .177 for lower noise and more shots. An FX King (GRS version) in just about any caliber would be wildly different than anything I currently own. And JaceSpace1369’s .30 Vulcan3 in the classified section really gets me going.
So this brings me to my dilemma, and my reference to ergos and feel in the thread title. See, of my 4 current guns, the two FX just have a feel that make me want to hold and shoot them. The Wildcat shoulders and points like a dream, and the cocking ergonomics and vault like solidity and smoothness of my Impact really bring a smile to my face. My U2 on the other hand doesn’t come close when it comes to these things. I know that once I’ve had the opportunity to put in some trigger time with it, its other attributes (huge power and accuracy with heavy slugs) win me over, but I haven’t yet fallen in love. This honestly is what’s keeping me from reaching out on that beautiful Vulcan or from ordering a new Vixen. The King is beautiful and will likely provide some of the feel I love about my other FX guns, but the length of a traditional rifle might detract some. For reference, almost all of my powder burning rifles are registered SBRs, and I keep eyeing some of the ones that aren’t thinking that I should do the paperwork to make them 6 to 8 inches shorter. Did I mention that I like compact guns?
The purpose of my long winded thread is not to ask you good folks what I should do or how I should spend my money, though if you have a strong opinion, lay it on me baby, I’ll listen. I’m really wanting to hear stories and experiences from those who maybe have been in a similar position. Have you ever come out of your comfort zone only to be glad you did, or did you find it to be to your detriment? Short gun aficionados who found love and warmth in the embrace of a long gun, tell me your tale. Vice versa? Or what about learning that what you thought might not have been a good fit, turned out to be something that just took some getting used to, and now everything else seems weird. Yep. Specifics work too. Did your AGT gun become the love of your life only after a few dates? While we’re on specifics, (though like I said, I'm NOT ASKING) if you wanna just tell me I'm an idiot for not buying JaceSpace1369’s Vulcan 3, fire that right at me too. Unless you’re JaceSpace1369 of course.
Ok, even if you’re JaceSpace1369 you can tell me that.
