Hey Dillon, good to see you back.

I've yet to see anything that combines all the features of the Vet Short, which you mentioned in your original post. They come up on the classifieds on occasion, usually in the $1000-1200 range.

Thanks Cole! And yeah it's hard to beat those guns. I do miss mine and have been looking off and on for a few years and no luck always miss them. I notice others in classifieds with WTB ads so assume I'm not the only one unfortunately. But oh well I'm in no rush.

I tried looking up the length of the Taipan Veteran Short and found a reference that said it is 25.75 inches long. The Caiman is 575mm long or about 22.5 inches long. It has a 400mm barrel. I went with the Caiman X that has a barrel over 500mm long (and is 695mm long or about 28 inches). I think the Caiman length includes the moderator it comes with but I will need to measure my Caiman X when it arrives to be sure I know what the specification includes. Now if the barrel was 50 mm shorter I guess you could get it down to closer to 20 inches but bullpups under 30 inches seem pretty compact to me. A less expensive option capable of 18-19 fpe in 177 is a P35 (or P15 if you prefer). About 27 3/4 inches with a 450mm barrel. About 5 lbs weight. Mine are a bit longer to give me the length of pull I want and to let me put a moderator in the shroud but they are still about 30 inches long. My P35-22 is over 30 fpe and my P35-25 is about 50 fpe.

The Caiman seem nice will need to look into those. The p35s seem to be decent for what they are but don't really want to go with a Chinese gun if I don't need to. The reason I like shorter ones are where I shoot in our barn the shorter the better.

I've got a couple, great little guns.
Check out Ricks shooting with them. Both of these are the "X" model, but the non-X is very close in everything they do.
The new Caiman, MkII is in both the X-model and the non-X version
Here's a coupla decent videos about the Caiman.

Haven't really been following airguns much anymore. Shoot my Evol Mini and Notos quite often still but still might want a small bullpup. Kinda miss my Taipan Shorty as it was a fun little gun. Not sure if there's anything new coming out with Shot Show and IWA being recent? My guess would probably be nothing but maybe I missed something.

Damn, I was wondering what happened to you. Glad to see that you are posting again!

You probably have one of the best small bullpup with the Evol Mini, although I’ve never had the priviledge of shooting one. If you want to trade your EVOL for my Taipan compact 25
LMK😂😉

But seems the compact bullpup has gone away besides a few older ones. Now all newer bullpups it's minimum 500mm barrel or longer and heavy. Give me a good bullpup with a 350mm barrel. Like the new compact carbine rifles that have all come out recently. I'd also prefer not to pay $1500 for a compact and lightweight gun that can shoot accurately out to 25yds and maybe 15fpe max.

At 38.5", the new FX DRS might interest you, although its a convential style rifle, and not a bullpup.

Edgun Leyla 2.0 is compact in my opinion. Under 60cm/ 24 inch. But it's not the latest IWA product

EDgun Lelya 2.0

The Lelya 2.0 is the brand's most compact bullpup rifle. ¡Its total length is only 59.5 cm! Right proportion between weight, size, power, accuracy and autonomy. Despite its short 377mm barrel, the Lelya 2.0 is endowed with power and accuracy for shots over very long distances, overcoming the 100...

Definitely not new, but it sure is compact. I’ve got one in .25 (Huma regulated) that fits perfectly in a Eberlestock cherry bomb, along with a 300cc buddy bottle/peazy.

Super compact, insanely accurate and my all around favorite rifle I’ve owned in 15 years of airguns.

So one that was never mentioned was the Uragan Compact. I got lucky to find a great looking used one in .22 that is on its way to me now. Also only about 24" and handling the standard size in the past, one of the most comfortable bullpups out there. Really looking forward to getting it and getting it setup for barn duty.
