Struggling between Bullboss in .22 or .25

[AwwShoot]

That is great news if this Bullboss comes with 3 mags! Thought only the Gladius came with exts mags due to its additional storage. Only part I wish the Bullboss had was thesame mag storage at the Gladius ot at least the option to attach it.

So Xraycer, what you are saying is the difference will be like the change from using a Tippmann to a higher end electro for paintball. Soo crazy smooth and accurate!

Sorry, Martin,  I've never done the paintball thing,  so I have no idea. But,  in regards to the Bullboss, smooth and accurate would be a fair description.......and don't forget FUN

Before falling in love with a Bullpup I would make an effort to shoot one of two, they aren't for everyone,
Yes they look cool but if most of the shooting is done from a bench a rifle would be better IMO.

Ain't that the truth.

This is something a lot of people don't think about when looking at bullpups, & that's because they aren't made to be suitable for every type of shooting, or use. Sure, they can be used for most types of shooting, but ideally they are designed to be perfect for when a shooter needs to come up fast on a target, or is in a somewhat confined space with limited room for movement.Their primary issue for me is those high rails, I like my optics as close to the bore as possible.

I didn't really understood this quote.

Nomadic Pirate,always wanted a bullpup due to their full length barrel but shorter distance between muzzle and trigger. Due to the main purchase as dispatching meat rabbits, I needed to minimize the length between the two.

I hunt in super thick areas and the real advantage with the Bullpups was in the transport of the gun mainly the ability to use a one point sling, but when it comes to actual shooting the advantage swings back to the Carbine for various reasons,
 if a gun is to long to move around in the vegetation to a shooting position well you not gonna have any shooting lanes either then

A lot of Folk Lore surrounding Bullpups

[AwwShoot]

Thanks for the advice!

[Xraycer]

This is the only bullpup I'd ever own,  and I have been very pleased. I absolutely love the compactness, but wished it was about 2lb lighter. However,  as stated before, once the gun is shouldered, it doesn't feel as heavy as it actually is..... unlike a full length rifle such as the Marauder. Plus the heavier weight is a stability advantage when shooting off a bench. This gun is very accurate and smooth off the shoulder or on the bench.

Martin, I've made a couple of simple mods to suit me better. I've completely removed the cheek rest,  and after trying a few different things, I found that just applying a few layers of electrical tape, to the cheek rest area of the receiver, was satisfactory to me, in regards to comfort. I also never liked that appendage on the bottom of the stock,  so I chopped it off. Now,  I like the look much better

Nomadic Pirate,

Missed the first line of your post stating you didn'the understand my comment.

We raise rabbits to supplement our dogs raw food diet. Dispatching a rabbit is up close hence the reason I preferred less distance between the trigger and barrel.

Would have liked tof have just picked up a pistol for this duty but the cost was the same as a rifle and cold only choose one or the other for a long while. The Bullboss going on sale for $449 made it hard to pass up since It will be a multi use Air rifle vs the pistol which would be much more limited.

I'm excited you went with the 25 cal.. Awesome.
Watch out and check for burrs on Fill probe cylinder in-let.
I cut O-rings first Fill on Probe on my gun.

Ive gathered up the funds for another now myself. That is how much I grown to like mine.
Dead com winds here late yesterday.."South east Idaho". And at 30 yrds..Bench shooting with it.
Watched Three go in the same hole and the rest group 3/4 inch.
I was using laminated Plywood for target board, and at that range..The Baracuda's 28 gr truck right threw it.. It's a killing machine no doubts.
Most of my shooting is 50 yards plus.. Pigeons on grain bins and starlings. Love how the 25 bucks the wind. My usual hold over is only a mil dot at 55 yards. Always blowing about 10 mph ..Idaho

Thinking you'll be happy with purchase...
Keep us posted.

[Xraycer]

Good call,  Ron.  I'd totally forgot about the fill probe oring getting cut easily. I just leave my probe permanently in place on the gun now.......... it doesn't bother me at all.

[AwwShoot]

2BEERS, thanks for the heads up, I'll make sure the first think I do is check both air cylinders for burrs!

I am extremely excited about this order and looking forward to the PCP world! As far as going .25, I would rather have too much and plan for it, instead of not having enough. Plus, I really want to shoot 100 yard targets at the range and possibly hunting with it down the road.

Oh and about the laminated back stop, how thick was it?

Next will be figuring out what pellets it likes. Need to find lead free for dispatching too!

Lamination was 1/4 solid alder with MDF core with Solid alder 1/4 backer.....total 7/8 thick..ahahaaa. A very solid ply.
Ive been playing with lots of Designs for add on lead free-r's. Bench is covered in fact with tried out projects.  One worked out supper good but the accuracy declined. 


Are you running a hand pump or compressor for filling ?

[AwwShoot]

Was going to run a hand pump, then kept reading "unless you buy a hill, you'll have to put your body weight into it" then saw that the Hill pumps are around $260.

Decided to just order a Yong Heng 110v with Set Pressure ( could only find the 110v Set pressure model on Aliexpress) since I also play paintball. This way I can fill PCP and Paintball tanks.

Saves time waiting, plus lots more time running and hour one way to the field for air which is usually around 3k, get stuck talking for at least an hout, then the hour drive home. LOL

Now I will be able to fill the good tanks to 4500psi, or at least close to it.

Next to research pellets. LOL Look forward to hearing what you find in pellets too.

Don't believe everything you read.

I recommend JSB Exact Kings 25.39

[AwwShoot]

Xraycer, yep, I was hearing otherwise on some of the other pumps saying it wasn't that bad.

Just decided to go with a compressor since it will help both hobbies, plus easier for my wife and I to quick fill the PCP air cylinders when needed.

[PushingPELLETS]

I had a bullboss in .25 and I would honestly recommend it for following reasons

The weight for a .22 there is lighter bullpups making close to the same power

The length also shorter .22 bullpups just to me seems to long as a .22 bullpup

Long range shooting the .25 is hands down better IMHO

Mine was shooting 915-942-910 over about 2 mags (18shots)
With 25gr jsb

Very accurate with 25gr jsb 31gr baracuda and 34gr jsb heavy

Anyway that's my personal opinion on 22 over .25 in regards to the bulboss

I would also suggest to get the wood model if shooting off a bipod the synthetic one had allot of flex

Good luck

Unfortunately, that isn't going to happen since it was only the Synthetic stock on sale for $449. Probably shoot off a bag like my ARs. Only time will tell.

Hope you ordered some Benjamin 27 gr.
Just received my order of them and shot 4 mags.. Seriously spot on.. and my gun absolutely loves them.
Huge confidence builder on 60 plus yards.
If you didn't..I would recommend trying a tin. Purchased form AOA.
I didn't even have to adjust scope.. where I was shooting the 27 grain Baracuda Hunters...So pumped right now.
Ordering more now.
Luck on your shooting and keep us posted.

[Slippy117]

Just got my bullboss in today, also a .25.   It came with 2 mags so I dont know if they changed it from 3 or what.

[redlined_b16a]

The Hatsan website states comes with one magazine.
I believe all multishot at44s came with 2 mags

[AwwShoot]

Hope you ordered some Benjamin 27 gr.

Which Benjamin pellets? There seems to be a &^^& load from each manufacturer!

Really frustrated with Amazon. They have the Barracuda Green in .177 and .22 but not in .25.

The .25 are available on their German Amazon site though. Still looking for a place selling the .25s.
