Does the new FX wildcat or any bull pups fit tall lanky guys?
Hello everyone new to the forum and new to PCPs. Been looking at a lot of different pretty good rifles.

I’ve bounced around from the dream line light to the katran…Then I started liking the looks of the FX wildcat and caiman x. All seem to be good shooters. Really kind of leaning toward the wildcat even though there’s a long wait. The caiman tugs at me though. I’m 6’4” long and lanky do you think these bull pups will fit?

thanks

Absolutely! I am 6"4" with a long LOP and the bull pups fit me just fine. Some I have to move the scope forward some but the Wildcat has lots of rail for that. You won't have a problem.

Disclaimer I have a compact mk3 .22 and love it. 
When I first got the gun there was a “break in” period for me and a shooting buddy that has the same. We are tall guys 6’2” and 6’3”. The gun felt to us it needed an extra inch or more spacer on the butt pad. After shooting it for a month or more that’s went away and we have adapted to the stock which is quite comfortable. Great gun and won’t disappoint. With long arms I’d probably take a look at the Taipan veteran pup, don’t own one but lots have good to say about them. Good luck

I’m 75” tall with hands down to my knee caps and the wildcat is my favorite platform.

everuthing in me is long and lanky. I can itch my chin with my front teeth, for crying out loud.

@newbee, there is a 30 cal Uragan done my Wall on the classifies for a good price for what’s been done to it. If you’re quick grab it now you might get lucky. Don’t worry about LOP. This gun shoulders and balances wonderfully. Also they are great shooters and good for beginners. About the same weight as FX guns.

One the Wildcat that I owned (just sold), I installed a butt-plate that housed a couple of slots for extra magazines. It extended the stock just enough to make it more comfortable with the length of pull.

Bought that butt-plate from SMW Engineering....

Wow awesome response from everybody thank you for the input. Thanks I’m gonna go ahead and pull the trigger and get one. Happy fourth to all!

The Maverick could be a consideration. It is similar to a Wildcat and kind of like an Impact. The reason I would consider it is that you can add a Saber Tactical buttpad to it if you need to extend the length of pull. It is adjustable for pull, a little vertical adjustment, and the upper part of the pad can tilt backwards. You also have a variety of bottle sizes to choose from with the Maverick. It uses the same barrel system as the Wildcat III. I do love the looks of the Wildcat though.


Here is a pic of the Maverick with the Saber buttpad.

It will work fine after u add a inch or more to LOP. I am 6'4" & generally add a butt plate spacer of some sorts to increase LOP on everything I shoot regularly. If you are like me you need 15 " plus lop. But i ain't lanky anymore, more like Tall & Fat,LOL. 



My Wildcat, not the latest model but same stock. I have said it before, but if I could only keep one PCP rifle it would be this Wildcat.
