Airgun Technology VIXEN Long (Full Review)

Yes, that is the hs adjustment. Same on the Uragan. 

One note however is the thread where the plenum on an Impact (after market) let go. Several people mentioned gauges letting go. I've personally never had it happen. But hte gauge in my face/eyes would scare the bjesus out of me! I love the gun but that is a no go for me.

Hi @knifemaker how must of q increase or degree in FPE using the adjustment screw?

 

[knifemaker]

A LOT on the Uragan. No idea on this new offering. I would think similar?

I agree, the one thing that , I coud live without. I would be happier if that gauge was on the right side pointing the opposite direction. However, I am not too concerned about that, but if I start hearing that these gauges pop off, I would just remove the gauge & plug the hole. Once I know how many shots I get per fill, I mostly use a gauge to check leaks. I seldom look at a gauge on a gun when filling cant see em any way & the the one on my nitrogen bottle is always more accurat & easier to see. .

@knifemaker, yes the location of the pressure gauge makes me wonder why they put it there. I am not a design engineer, but a safety engineering background, and if I had to review the design I am sure I would say move 90 degrees clock wise.

I just ordered one from Talon Tunes and thanks for the information.

Wow! I just received it and I think this is the one I have been waiting for for a long time.

So accurate, quiet, and not heavy it looks so nice.

This is definitely a keeper.

If you lean into the gun, the Point of Impact can change. Don't rest it on the shroud. Tony said let the gun shoot itself, and it will be dead on everytime. -Nate 

 

[knifemaker]

Yes, the hammer spring adjustment is much like the Uragan. Between it and the reg, a lot can be accomplished. 

My Uragan came shooting at 50+ fpe, It is now over 100 fpe with my slugs. 47.2 grs at 990's. And much more is there! :<)

I have two questions can I install 480cc bottle on it and would you like it more than the katran if it had 480cc bottle?

`I have two questions can I install 480cc bottle on it and would you like it more than the katran if it had 480cc bottle?

Not sure about the bottle swap. The Katran is way better than the VIXEN. The VIXEN has a shroud attatched ONLY at the end of the barrel, lean on that, or the handguard, and the point of impact will change. If you don't lean on the gun, it shoots perfectly.

If you can afford it, get a Cricket 2 Tactical. It shoots 18.13 gr JSB's in dime size groups all day at 75 yards. That thing is a laser! It's like shooting a Daystate...but better. (Tuned to 882-888 FPS).

75 yard groups (18.13gr JSB @ 885 FPS) 7 mile an hour wind

6+ SHOTS @ 75 yards

Not sure about getting the bigger bottle. I think the idea of the Vixen Standard is a short ultralight rifle. If you want a bigger bottle etc. Probably better off going with a bigger more powerful gun as well. Love mine, I would not sell it for a profit. However if I could only own one rifle, I would choose something more powerful.

Those are some good groups given the distance.

Odd. The hand guard is attached the same way on the Uragan and you can lean on it all you want. NO poi change! None! Your groups from the K. gun are good. But Not Uragan good. Only time will tell on the Vixen. If the Vixen has the same barres, Length not withstanding, they will be superior to the K. Guns.

Hi

I think this gun has the biggest silencer in 0.22. would you compere it with other guns like Kalibrgun or FXs rifle if you had any experiences with them before?

As i know it has 400mm barrel, how much is the output power? is there any one who has short one? what is short one power?

Totally you think it is a good rifle or not?

Thanks

Hi there,

Like the Vixen 177 long

any true feedback about hamer spring adjustment on the 177 Vixen or even better regulator adjusment on the 177 Vixen

i am running 10.03gr JSB KnockOut on my FXroyal 177

 

[BlackICE]

How about the trigger adjustment too?
