Hi everyone, just wanted to share something and wondered does anyone identify with what I'm saying. I've got an fx bobcat and a bsa r10. I've had a daystate huntsman and a hw100 which have all had Sporter style stocks. Since buying my bobcat I've now found I cannot get back into shooting a traditional Sporter style rifle. My bsa feels alien to me now and I go for my bullpup every time. My bsa shoots great but it doesn't feel normal to hold anymore. Anyone else know what I'm talking about?

Bullpup V Sporter

The Bobcat is the ultimate compromise between a traditional rifle and a bullpup. The Gen II version should be a real winner.

Micbro: I understand your feeling however for me it goes exactly the opposite way. I have the Cricket bullpup .25 cal first, shot it for a while and bought a FX 400 .22 cal later. Now I spent more time with the FX than the Cricket. For me, the bullpup is so sensitive with the canting problem and of course it's heavier than the FX which is I believe to give me more reason to shoot the FX. I use high profile mount ring on the Cricket and low on the FX and they make a lot of differences.
P/S: I really want to try a light, compact bullpup (taipan, wild cat...) to compare with traditional sporter style rifle .... maybe.. in the future

I find that I play a bunch with the BP's, but I SHOOT the long guns. I find more comfort and ease of use on a traditional action...

I am all with you on this Dave, I shoot my BP more for fun than serious target shooting, for that I go to my regular full size air rifles. Even though the Cricket is extremely accurate I just feel much more comfortable shooting the standard sized guns. Neil.

I have two Crickets (22 & 25) as well as an FX400, and Airwolf. My favorite rifle overall is the FX400. I appreciate it,s lighter weight and 3 stage power adjuster which is very reproducible.
I enjoy using my Crickets but they are on the heavy side. I should have purchased the units without the built in four mag holder.
I am currently debating between a Bobcat, wildcat or Impact. I will wait until I can get my hands on the two newer items when they are in stock at either AOA or PrecisionAir. PA is ca 3 hours from my home in MI and AOA is a short drive from my winter quarters in Arizona.
