Well Jeff, I think you have recommendations for about every bullpup made. Guess that resolves it.

I don't think any were left out. The answer therefore is as clear as mud but I do appreciate all the input. In the end, there are too many variables of the gun and the person to be able to proclaim a "best" of anything.

It is funny but that's how these topics usually go! I do enjoy any discussion that starts up because of it.

I have 2 old cricket compact..reliable n accurate really a sin to sell them , they have its place in the collection of desirable pcp of the past.... but after using a side level guns.. like the uragans or cricket 2 ..n now vulcan 3 ... there is nothing like it .. there is no way a rear cockin gun would be better - not in ergonomics..or the facility to a second fast shoot without taking the eyes off the scope taipan guns are based in a old pellet shooting design.. guns are Evolving .. just look at the power bump from the uragans to the vulcan 3 .. I'm more than satisfied with the power of my uragans..n the barrels are slug ready... first time I could say that from a new gun purchase..so satisfied that I'm not interested in anything new.. unless a .224 pcp come to the market.. the taipan trigger will always be the best I have used in my 2 taipan longs .. but sold them both right away...I have more regret of the benjamig bulldog I recently let go .. that for those 2 ..

I have a few Crickets (original .25, II, and II Tactical). I have to say this one is my fav...
It's accurate and just feels right to me. Having the smaller optic on it also helps with Kalibrgun's weight problem!

I've owned at least 20. I ended up keeping the Lelya 2.0 .22, R5M Long .22 , Vulcan .30, Maverick VP .22, and never plan to sell these.

My Kalibrgun Argus 60 in .22
I see a lot of regular cricket in the conversation but I always feel the Argus is just a little better with rails for bipods, holds more air, and a magazine that doesn't need three hands to load.

I’ve owned a lot of the Airguns. The Taipans have a great trigger, but I prefer the FX Bosses. Raw power American Air Arms are tops, just not as refined cocking. Best combination of all Argus. Just my opinion.

I don't like the looks of a square barrel. As I wrote, beauty is in the eye of the beer holder.

Most of todays bullpup triggers are 99% the same design, yes, even (noted above) the Taipan, same as the rest !
If you want the simplest, most direct bullpup trigger, you want either the Daystate Renegade or the better Pulsar. They have electronic triggers. NO...linkage...anywhere. Despite what others may say, there is NO other trigger as precise as the Daystate trigger. People that say not, just don't know ! I have more than my share of bullpups, NOTHING beats the Daystate trigger. While it does...have a rear cocking lever, it's still on top trigger wise. Accuracy, they are right up there with the rest. Most of todays, name brand bullpups will shoot close to 1" groups at 100 yrds., so that should not be a worry.
One of the other very well built trigger is the Weihrauch HW100 bullpup. A very solid German design and machined gun. While it's similar to the rest, it's done a little different, very solid.

Sorry but that honor goes to EDgun who started the bullpup craze for airguns.

Hey Mike!
No, brother, a bullpup can be huge and long sniper rifle. I think what you meant is Compact carbines. Those are for combat in tight spaces. A bullpup is just a rifle where the trigger group is forward of the mag, it is made to put a long barrel relative to the overall size of the gun. could be a 12'' or a 30'' barrel. In airguns, Bullpups are especially useful because barrel length matter much more here.
