The bullpups start to grow on you after a while. I evolved from, "damn those are ugly" to "that looks sorta cool". I researched different ones and finally settled on the model that spoke to me. Yes, I know most of the quirks ( I think). I'm under no illusions and prepared to deal with it since to me, airguns are a bit like motorcycles... certain ones just get your blood flowing.
I originally ordered the 'warcat' but realized I didn't really need a .25 so ended up changing to Wildcat mk2 .22, typhon dip and added the stx barrel thus making it a 'chocat'. Get it...? chohan/chocat... ok, nevermind. Cleaned the stx barrel and installed first thing, checked pellet probe depth, checked mag indexing, checked and marked the HST adjustment screw (mine is brass?) and adjusted the trigger since I could barely feel the second stage in mine. Dressed her out with SWFA fixed, Mag holders from Matt247365 (thanks Matt), and Tatsu from DonnyFL (cheers Donny). After initial scope zeroing, and firing a few groups of JSB 18gr, it seems to be a shooter. Just difficult for me to get the butt stock at the level I want on the rear bag (I shoot down a slight incline) compared to the Regal. The groups looked good at 50yd which is encouraging but admittedly I didn't shoot long due to hot/humid weather here and the wind picked up by the time I finished all of the above and got the scope mounted and zeroed so my plan is to be out first thing tomorrow morning for perfect and cooler conditions. Also I'm still waiting on my chronograph.
So obligatory pic:
I'm keeping it close to the Regal in the hope they'll breed bullpups with walnut stocks.
cheers
