I have been looking at these ... and leaning toward the bullboss in .25 ..I think it's lighter and maybe more flick- able for the woods ...
I don't have a bullpup yet ... would like to get one ... and want to here from you guy's that have experience with these .

Okay let's cut to the chase, when can we anticipate the Bullboss on sale in the US? Was really looking at the Gladius, but it was so much more gun than I really needed. The Bullboss with a regulator would be right on target for my purposes.

August is the latest word if sooner I will update.

I saw the write up on the Bullboss from the shot show but didn't sound like it was all that much lighter, maybe 1 to 1 1/2 pounds which I realize makes a difference over the course of a day. I'll be interested to read comparative reviews once they've both been out for a while. I like the extra bells and whistles on the Gladius such as the mag holders in the stock (I know you can just stick them in your pocket) and the way the stock is designed in general . Price wise there is supposed to be about a $150 to $200 difference? Using a 10% coupon and free shipping It doesn't seem like $800 and change for Gladius is outrageous for what you get.

you made the right choice I think .....
1.1 lbs is the difference ...you get more with the gladius ....
custom case / power selector / mag holders + more mags I think ? =4 ? /adjustable butt bad / Hatsan sling with rings on the gun / 2 side picatinny rails / 255cc air cylinder tube vs bullboss 230 cc ..... / full size shroud kinda like my Mrod ...
I hope you ! ... and now we ! ... made the right decision ....
HA ! HA ! cause I just jumped off the gladius CLIFF ! ... and bought the gladius .25 -long and did the 10% off just like you ! did ! ....

Baxter .... glad you posted this info .... now I got a good excuse for not buying the cheaper bullboss ! HA ! HA !
and when the gun comes in and the ol lady finds out about it ...oh snap ! ... I will simply blame it all on you ! Baxter ! HA ! HA !
" cause all those video's BWalton posted up on youtube made me do it ! " ..... is what I will say !
" he kept swinging that gun back and forth in front of my face till all of a sudden my finger hit the buy button on my paypal "
No really man thanks for posting those video's .... you did a really good job ... honestly I would NOT have bought this gun with out seeing your review's on this Gladius ... and shot / hunting test .... really sold me .... and Hatsan owes you ! BIG ! I think ...
if Hatsan's smart they will give you one of these for free ! ... is what I think ..and is what I would do if I were them ... I don't see anyone else doing the testing moding and great video work combined -promoting there product ...like you have .. just my 2-cents !

Thanks Dan,remember that it is very very versatile...I would start by turning to power setting to 6 and dial in the hammer to where you want the rifle to shoot at on 6 power . The 19gr H&N I would look into for more shoots, plus if you wanted to shoot rats at night or some thing at 4 power it is very quite.

Cool .... I think I will tune on 6 power with the 25 kings to 900-925 fps ... cause like you know they fly fast and accurate at those speed ranges ... my Mrod .25 and my at44w long are set up to shoot at those speed's with ragged hole results .... I am hoping for the same with the Gladius ...
I am thinking that 4-5 power maybe will be good with those 19.g H&N ....or maybe even start off with heavy kings 33.95 g on 6 power ..then drop to 5 power with 25 g kings ...4 power with H&N 19 g ...I don't know if the for mentioned is possible ....time testing will tell the story on that one ...
my 2 Korean gun's work like that pretty well with their power wheel's / MK 300 / Sumatra ... and actually that power selector on the Gladius helped tilt me towards the Gladius over the bullboss ...
