That's quite the monster. Looks like a longer barreled Hercules in a Barrage stock. 700FPE?  Hooooo man!

Vaportrail,

Not a rat-a-tat, but I love my Bulldog.

I went back to the oem tube and valve, the balanced valve leaks down and I like my guns always ready, but with that oem valve and .30 porting it still gets 865 FPS with  152 grain NOE hp’s and honestly if I could spend your 1500 bucks, I would buy a 2nd  one to put the balanced  valve and 4500 ti tube back on and send you the 700 bucks change..

It has a magazine, perhaps the most dependable one your going to find and yes it is ugly but at 250 FPE, I like it.  Not to mention that it can get really close to 1 inch at 100 yards these days.

You know, that's the thing about the Bulldog...tremendous power right out of the box. I'm going to find me a used Flashpup first and see if I can live with that rear cocking lever.

Another thing I like about the Bulldog is you can change it to lefty.  I was not born wrong handed, but being a cyclops these days forces me to shoot weak handed, being able to change that lever to the left side helped a lot.

Tom Kerrigan convinced me to buy the Bulldog, and taught me how to port it, advice that I am grateful for.

Another thing is the parts are just a phone call away with great service,I have two barreled uppers, one a carbine length, and one full length.  After market custom parts are available from Matt at Pitbull who is a fine gentleman.

The Hatsuns just seem too problematic for me and too heavy with the exception of that Fiashpup which is a great rifle from what I have read.  Having said that, that video is interesting.  Umerex was just a heartbreak for me, in a hammer sort of way, that and they have always seemed underpowered, but that Rainstorm is well, just sexy.

How  are you and that Sumatra long getting along, mine gave me 85 FPE today with my new bullet I cast, not bad for a carbine.

I'm glad that the BD is working out for you. I'm still hesitant to make the plunge on that rear lever. And while Crosman takes care of you guys in the States, I have no such luck here. I asked about sending out parts herein and they told me "no, sorry... we don't ship parts out to Guam". Oh really now? So how do you ship parts out to your distributor here? Telekinesis?

Yes, they have a distributor here. Can I try ordering through them? Sure...if I didnt have to wait 6-9 months for the part to get here. 

I have no idea how they're still in business. And don't get me wrong...I know the family that owns that sporting good store, so it's not like they're complete strangers. Still, though...that's a crying shame.

Hatsan, on the other hand? Flying colors. No problems shipping anything out to me. So, for the time being? Hatsan's being getting a chunk of my money.

Lol...sorry. Talk about a tangent.

[VaporTrail]

Sorry...I forgot to address the Sumatra. Me an her are getting along just dandy! Loads of power (101FPE) and she absolutely loves the 48gr HP BTs. Interesting note, the 43gr EJs needed to be around 8 clicks out of 16 for reasonable accuracy. The slugs? They're happy at full power. Hole in hole at 30, no too far off at 50. I think it was something like half a mil drop off from the 30yd zero.

I'm going to try ordering some 52gr slugs and see how those work out. The 48gr slugs are zipping right along at 977FPS, so maybe the 52gr one will bring it down to about 900ish.

That's pretty good power for your carbine...especially if its unmodded. I want to send my 500cc one back to Mr. Piatt and ask him to open up all the ports. I think I can hit 120-130FPE if he does that.

Sorry buckaroo. Looks like it's a single shot. 

The search continues.

Paul, the Terminator is available from New England Airguns for $1200...it was $800 before Christmas. I am so kicking myself in the rear right now for not buying it then....

your other choice would be a Hatsan Hercules Bully. fits the description and $899 new.

What?!? 800 bucks? Oh fer the crying love of Pete! Dang you, Christmas shopping!!!! You may as well kick me too, while you're at it. 400 bucks! Talk about missed savings! 

I've also been heavily eyeing that Herc Bully in .45...599 for a refurb. What I'm curious about is the cocking effort...I've read several accounts of people mentioning that it's pretty hard to cock.

I'm currently recovering from some medical expenses, but I think I'll be back in the game shortly. Just gotta drop a couple grand into the CC to keep the FICO gods happy and then it may be time for daddy to get a present for being so good. 

Still sooper miffed about missing that 800! Funnit!

[darkcharisma]

tell me about it. i was like...i dont need another pcp...but then i do. too late now...thats a big change going into New England Airguns pocket.

if you get the Herc Bully for $600 refurb. thats a steal. hard to cock or not. its not going to be "150lbs" like some of the springers. dont get OCD about it man. its the gun youll ever need.

This thing = LCS puts out a hail storm of lead …  this thing in .30 would be 1 nasty air gun …... you would have to buy a pellet making machine to keep up with it ...

I replied to some posts on the AEA thread, but I can repeat here. Starting to have doubts about the Terminator, and that's because of the heavy trigger (7lbs for a semi-auto?) and slug issues. Apparently the Termi has issues with slugs; rifling doesn't match the slugs that some people were using. I wonder, though...if an airgun slug would produce more favorable results.

And then there's the trigger. 7lbs? For a single shot hunting rifle, that's acceptable. For a semi-auto airgun? Absolutely not.

But it will shoot full auto, you only have that 7lb pull for the first shot!!!

Wait wait what? Did I miss something? Full auto? I thought it was semi?

If it's full auto...then that might be another story. I'll snatch one up right now!

[Ironman482]

The AEA Terminator 357 is semi ,I  thinl he was referring to another rifle AEA has .

[VaporTrail]

Oh? Well, then...it looks like I'll have to take a closer look.

Look at FieldSupply.com
New Bully, any caliber, $697 and change!

LCS has full auto  and semi … 19 shot swiss cheese maker !  ...check it out … I don't think much would survive getting 19 full auto shots like this does … looks like a lot of fun … 

[MJP]

Well well, just look at that. That will be interesting to hear what Huben K1 folks think about this ripoff.
Direct Huben clone that action looks like, all down to the lever siding the drum.

Is there some connection between the companies?

I wish I could avail myself of those savings. Fieldsupply, huntersupply, tractorsupply...they don't ship out here. So far the cheapest is a refurb on the Hatsan site.

While that does look enticing, it's a bit out of my budget range. I can't drop 2k just on one gun.
