The Incredible Shrinking Airgun! (Is smaller better?)

I may never buy another full-sized PCP again.

Bullpups or bust! (well, take-downs and foldable-stock pistols/carbines are OK)

PS: Here's my take on short guns, and an examination of dozens of bullpups that have bloat stocks — stocks that are unnecessarily long without any benefit....

Thanks @Matthias for sharing that post about excess stock lengths. That's pretty interesting. I'm going from memory here, but I did measure the length of pull of the rifles in my original pic:

RWS 34 = 13.5 inches

Brocock Sniper = 14.5 inches

Both Crickets = 14 inches

And the extended picatinny rails on the smaller guns make decent eye relief possible for normal sized scopes. At some point in the past I got a UTG compact scope (4-16 I think) and it never felt right on any of my guns. I'm now kicking myself for selling it because it would have been great to try on either of the Crickets.

... maybe Santa Claus will find and drop a Tac Vector Veyron 4-16 in my stocking this Christmas ...
