the newbie to big bore is back - part 2

[rangur1]

thanks to several helpful members , my interest / questions have been focused. I am a bullpup guy. so the 6 that grabbed me from suggestions were all 357 cal

1-benjamin bulldog , 2 - AAA slayer bullpup , 3 - AEA challenger , 4 - Ataman M2R , 5 - Hatsan bully , 6 - Kral bighorn 

benj bulldog - unregulated , 6 shot per fill . priced well. 

AAA slayer bullpup - regulated I believe , 10-11 shots per fill , very expensive

AEA challenger - 10 shots per fill , unregulated as far as i can see , priced well , how are QC issues?

Ataman M2R - pricey , 10 shots per fill , regulated. 

Hatsan bully - unregulated , think it has a 500 cc bottle , 11-12 shots per fill? QC is definitely an issue

Kral bighorn - see hatsan

forgive me if my information is inaccurate in some areas. been looking up all these and other suggestions so that's a ton of info. anyway

AAA slayer - awesome , but priced out of my range. 

Hatsan - concerns over QC out of the box , many are relatively easy fixes , but I'd rather not have to start fixing things as soon as it arrives , same for Kral. 

Ataman - Is it worth the price? can I add a donnyfl to it?

AEA challenger - How reliable is this one? from what I see it's a new model. again , can I add a mod? 

Benjamin Bulldog - seems a trip to pitbull is a popular choice with this platform. I'm sure there are some rough spots ,that's ok , can this one be regulated and add a donnyfl?

thanks big bore folks!

theres lots of support for it, you could do pretty much anything you want with it .. personally i dont think regulated is all that and a bag of potato chips unless your a bench shooter ... sure on the ldc .. i got the jumbo, works pretty good, good enough to shoot it in the yard .. you dont need the extension with a stock gun, the 'twang' is louder than the report so theres no gain unless you do other things first ..

The bulldog is tried and true, the AAA is the quality rifle of the bunch. All the others are just left in the wind. 
this of course is just my opinion.

It might be possible to add a regulator to the AEA if you really wanted. Hoping they've good QC myself, although I'm getting the .45. I've come to adore bullpups too.

Get the Bulldog and send it to Veradium air!

Diminishing returns once you regulate a big bore,

AEA big bores are looking real good.

I agreed the AEA are looking good , but how does the regulator lead to diminishing returns?

Once you get into big bores your shot count is much lower then small bores where a regulator can get that flat shot string over a bunch of shots



With the few shots on a big bore you can get that flat shot string ( low curve ) with a good tune, and you get more power.
