Given the longer length, additional weight and highly adjustable stock, I would expect that accuracy is much more easily achieve than with the smaller bullpup. Have you found that to be the case?

Which one do you like better and why?

Thanks!

That’s a shame. Those two features come in handy. Without them you won’t know if the gun is cocked and won’t be able to uncock without removing the magazine. Not a dealbreaker, of course, but still. I wonder if this is one of those things that will be fixed in version 1.1

That’s less than the bobcat and the .25 wildcat. Most full sized rifles are between 40 and 44 inches, so this is still plenty short in my opinion.

Accuracy has been somewhat underwhelming past about 30 yards. At 50 the groups I’ve managed to get are 2-4″ at best. Granted, I’m not an incredible shot, but based on how well I shoot my hw97, I would expect that this thing would give me groups about half that size.
