[Dairyboy]

Looks like it's a draw

Potentially a draw, yup.  But there's the 800 pound gorilla...   the Kral is less costly, even after buying a Travis-tuned Kral.   

That means you can buy some decent glass to go with it.  Which means the Kral is a winner in my book.  I know some folks prefer going for all-out power all the time, but I don't.  I'd rather match the tool for the job.  Factor in the Kral can be bought with a purty walnut stock for the same cost, and it's a run-away winner.  I may not get all woozy in the knees over furniture (some recent Daystates being exceptions... Talking about you Mister TunedAccuracy!), but if wood and synthetic cost the same, I'll take wood any day.

The Hatsan magazine size limits your pellet choices, though the magazines are cheaper.  And the Hatsan is physically longer, so it kinda defeats the whole point of a compact bullpup right out of the gate... plus it is heavier.  Not saying the Hatsan loses in all situations: if I was plunking GS at 75+ yards from a stand/table using a bipod, the Bullboss would be the perfect choice.  But for traipsing through the woods going for tree rats, I'd prefer the Kral every time.  For target shooting only, I don't want a bullpup

What do you mean, a draw without a clear cut winner...🤑 What else to expect from the place that sales both dogs in the race...

Seriously I like both guns, and would've bought one of each, .22 kral & .30/.357 bullboss if they offered it, cause I have a heavy bullpup .25 already, no need for a second one, unless it were .30+.

Some will chime in one way or another, but end the end get whatever gun you want, I'll do the same, then we can all go out and shoot holes in stuff...

Seems to me that it comes down to a bit higher price, less shots but higher power, and physically bigger and heavier vs cheaper, smaller, lighter, less power but more shots. Two different approaches to the bullpup. Just pick whichever one suits your needs or your fancy.

Personally think the Kral seems to be the winner here especially with the lower price but found it funny they called it a draw

Turns out that Ken is the clear cut winner with this comment.

Are you guys going to harass and troll Airgun Depot now,
like you've been harassing and trolling me for asking the same question ??

Good post.
Intelligent analysis like this is exactly what I was attempting to get from this forum,
but got harassed and trolled instead.



And now, the mods unjustifiably intercept every one of my posts, until they individually screen them, then edit and post them at their leisure.
If I'm going to be censored and harassed like that, just delete this account of mine.

I bought  defective bullboss and Gladius back to back so that turned me off from hats an. I know they're usually great guns that's just my luck. I would love to get my hands on a kral with a walnut stock. I think they look great.i really like what kral is doing to the market as well hopefully over time they prove to be a reliable affordable gun like the marauder. Only cooler looking in my opinion lol

A Bullboss can be had for $55-$85 more than the Kral.
Minimal premium for what you get.

I wanted to buy  a Kral, and still might,
but owners reported many failures in the first week of availability alone.
Is the Bullboss any more or less reliable than guns in it's price class?

im not even sure they have enough in common to be compared.. Not exactly a camaro vs trans am ( both are airgun bullpups

Evo Shift has already been trash talking the Kral on the review site, and he sure shows his feelings of them here ... Did he get a faulty one or something?

If I recall correctly, I don't think Evo has owned a Kral.

I think for people in the pursuit of power over anything else- especially those suspect of an unproven name (at least when looking at State-side reviews)- they should probably go for the Known Entity of Hatsan.  But as we've been finding out, the Kral airguns are a solid design with lots of potential. 

Another thought:  I figure if a brand is being sold by a company as reputable as Krale-Schietsport (or Aceros-de-Hispania) then it is worth trusting.  Both SPA and Kral have been available at both sites for a while.  Much like SPA, Kral has been hitting trade-shows, and if you are willing to watch foreign-language reviews, you can get a lot of good insight on airguns outside the norm.

No more drama! 
In all honesty, I'd like to try the Bullboss, I mean why not right?  I would actually like to try em all! . I came close a couple times to buying a Hatsan but never pulled the trigger on the purchase, ended up with something else.  Really in all honesty though, I'd like to shoot my Puncher Breaker sometime soon.  I've only shot it twice for a couple hundred shots about a month ago, free time has been scarce

I'll probably pick up a .25 Bullboss I too must admit to almost pulling trigger more than once on it.  Both really nice guns.

[SilentMatt]

I thought about the Bullboss, but the auto (and hideous) safety and the extra weight killed it for me.
My full power tuned Kral from Travis should be here tomorrow.
