hello everyone, I need to decide between buying a 600mm uragan 2 now or waiting more than 2 months for the 700mm version. It will be in caliber .22 and I will use it for hunting at distances of 100 yards
Airgun Technologies Uragan 2 600 vs 700mm
- Thread starter RodrigoR
- Start date
How urgent is the hunting? For shooting a .22 at that distance I would wait for the 700mm. The 600 can surely get it done, but the 700 will do it better.

The 600 is more than enough. I’ve hunted extensively with the original Uragan .22 with slugs and pellets. With slugs it’s accurate past 150 yards at factory tune. There’s enough power… and inherent accuracy is the same beteeen 600 and 700mm.

I opted for the 700 and I already have it. I haven't shot in the field with it yet, but I took measurements at home with the chronograph and it even reaches 805 fps with the Knock Out Slug .22 26gr.I thought the speed was low

I make consistent kill shots on ground squirrels out to 130 yards with my .25 cal 600. I’ve found that it really likes the NSA 29 grn dish base slugs.

The cz barrels shoot slugs accurately from 800-990 in my testing. Unless u need the power there’s no need to shoot really fast. It does not necessarily make them more accurate. My experience with FX guns is that slugs are more accurate shot faster. In .22 for cz barrels I’d buy the .217 or .218 slugs.

I bought the Africanir upgrade kit, I've already installed the depinger, the stronger spring and the longer hammer, should I increase the pressure on the regulator?

That African Air Ordnance kit is totally unnecessary unless you are jacking the gun up to very high power levels.
The Uragan 2 has a very easy to open balanced valve - the reg pressure is far and away the most important thing affecting velocity, with the hammer/valve balance less of an issue vs a normal poppet valve, just needing 'enough' hammer to open it. Which isn't very much at all.
My advice would be to remove the heavy spring and spacer and see where you get with the stock parts and higher reg before trying those aftermarket parts. Otherwise you are just smashing the valve stem for no reason.

I just ordered mine from Talon in 700 mm. I was between 600 vs 700 but went with 7. 600 looks so cool though. I have asked Anthony to tune it down to shoot 18.50 barracudas in .22. I have figured I would like the option to shoot bigger, faster, and farther later if I needed it, but restricting the 700 should give me even more shot count and even less noise. I am all about backyard friendly. I will also not planning to be on the move while hunting with this rifle. For that the Vixen is on my list.

Congrats!
You'll be happy with the service Tony provides to every customer. My U2 700 came double boxed and well packaged with some bubble wrap inside the zippered soft case that the rifle & extras come in. Not a scratch from shipping.
The rifle will come with 3000psi in the gun so no worries about getting that first air fill.

I just got it today. Exactly like you have said. Very well packaged. Actually I kept the packaging.
He tuned this down for me to shoot .22 18.51 grain Barracuda Hunter Extremes at 920 fps. So around 34 fps. For that he had to install some custom pressure restrictor (?). So far it is accurate at 20 yards. Same as the M3.
The rifle is louder than I was hoping for at this power level. I can shoot it but the quieter the better. I also do have the ping. Not horrible but I will have my local shop install the kit assuming I can quiet this rifle down. Because if not, it doesn't matter. I have a hugget snipe 1.2x20 UNF but I will need an adapter it seams.
Rifle looks great and for its size not all that heavy. Subjective, but probably my best looking rifle so far.
