Sure looks like a Talon except for the safety switch above the trigger.

Also $279 and maybe another 15% if you sign up.

Or they are using chinese high flow valves. Supposedly will handle upto 4500psi. Need a bigger hammer though.

Not a chance. The regular AF rifles are fine. Why give the chinses more money ?

SpindleB · « **Reply #4 on:** January 23, 2025, 11:58:30 PM »

Turns out they are rebadged Snowpeak
P15 bullpup
M18 single shot
M25 rifle

I don't think I have ever noticed the M18 before now.

That's what 97 % people(so called airgunners) do on this forum.

The specs say 1000 yard effective range?
Now I want to hear their definition of "effective"

aluminumfetish · « **Reply #8 on:** January 27, 2025, 09:38:49 PM »

Strange, almost every recent post has it.

Interesting website and their prices go up against the Notos. Will be paying attention...

I figure the parts on that gun I can't make even if it's junk are worth the $238 to build something from.

Their highest power rifle hits at 50 FPE according to their YouTube videos. Their bullpup is at 40 FPE. But they also weigh around half of what an AEA Challenger does, and their side lever on their bullpup is in a great location over the trigger and the magazine goes at the far end of the stock so the rifle is only about 28 inches. It's like they took AEA's Challenger bullpup and long stock rifles and slimmed them down and shortened them. At their price point I think I am going to pick up the bullpup .22

That is a great price point! I'll be keeping an eye on reviews/feedbacks of this bullpup.

The Bullpup seems to closely resemble the Snowpeak P35 (maybe minus the regulator?) I owned a P15 (non regulated) in the past and never should have sold that one. After signing up, I have one in my cart for $238.00 . Seems like a great "pre-tariff" price...

smythsg · « **Reply #16 on:** January 31, 2025, 02:38:58 PM »

Opppps...I did not own a P15, it was a P12, unregulated: still miss that gun. Went ahead and ordered the Pinty Bullpup in .22 cal.

Let us know what you think.

What was the shipping cost?

bduares · « **Reply #18 on:** January 31, 2025, 06:12:07 PM »

Just ordered the .22 bullpup. Free shipping. Make an account and use promo code WINHUNT and total with Texas tax included came out to $254.07 for me.

smythsg · « **Reply #19 on:** January 31, 2025, 09:00:10 PM »

Yes, shipping was free. I placed the order earlier today and have already received a shipping confirmation with tracking number. Will check back in when I get an expected delivery date.

Just an FYI, I did send Pinty Support an email question yesterday, and while they did not properly answer the question, they did get back to me via email within 12 hours. I suspect they have a lot to learn about airguns...
