Springfield Hellion Bullpup Rifle
Springfield announces the Hellion Bullpup, an import of the Croatian VHS-2 bullpup rifle. Looks interesting, though I'm not loving the price.
Que the "Never Springfield" folks...

It looks like the result of a one night stand between a G36 and a FAMAS. I want it just for that.

Re: Springfield Hellion Bullpup Rifle
I want it bad. Not for $2k though—at least not yet. It will absolutely stay on my radar for the next few years and if I spot a BIN price on reddit gundeals I'll def be getting it.
I've wanted a bullpup and this ticks all the boxes in terms of mag compatibility, 1000% ambi, modular enough with future parts. The only thing that is keeping me from buying it right now is InRangeTV hasn't done a mud test yet but I imagine since they posted a match video they already have the mud test filmed.
Here is the aforementioned match videoLast edited by somethingFishy; January 14th, 2022 at 08:29 PM. Reason: added link

Street price should be around what AUGs and Tavors go for.

Re: Springfield Hellion Bullpup Rifle
I've had a serious itch for a bullpup in .308 lately but the market has been all sorts of out of wack. This checks a lot of boxes for me but I'm not a huge fan of the charging handle design without having actually trying it yet. Seems like it would be a little tricky to manipulate once the fine motor skills go out the window and doesn't look like a whole lot of purchase to beat the crap out of it if a double or triple feed jammed it up nice and tight.

Re: Springfield Hellion Bullpup Rifle
Maybe someone will offer an extended charging handle, if there's enough room.
Your options for a .308 bullpup are pretty much limited to the Tavor 7, Desert Tech MDR, K&M Arms M17s, or the Kel Tec RFB. I've had an RFB for 12 years. It's still one of my favorite rifles. Mine has been trouble free, for the most part. I shot the Tavor 7 and didn't like it. The trigger is awful. I was intrigued by the MDR, but issues they had early on, along with the price turned me off. The K&M interested me until I realized it's not ambidextrous. Being a lefty, I'm not a fan of brass hitting me in the face. From what I've read and seen, it has an outstanding trigger for a bullpup. Maybe even for an AR. Unfortunately, reliability seems to be spotty. Several videos online of the 5.56 version show many issues. Some reviews have positive. So buyer beware.
