Airgun Technologies Uragan2 Q

[microtus]

Retirement gift coming up in the next 4-6 weeks, It's a want thing more than a need thing. Is it realistic to push a .22 mid 20 grain slug out of a Uragan2 in the mid 900's with a 600mm barrel or is a 700mm barrel required? Aesthetically I prefer the 600mm barrel. Pictures of a 600mm and a 700mm gun next to each other might help sway.

There's only 4 inches difference between the two... In my mind that doesn't matter much (size wise), you may feel different. The Vulcan3 would be a different story (to me anyway) as there is approx. 8 inches of difference between the 500mm & 700mm versions.

Regardless, they are a large bulky looking rifle. I like mine, a 25 caliber 700mm.

These pictures from TalonTunes should give you an idea, you might give him a call or email and see what he says.

The 700 will give you more efficiency of the air. If you were talking pellets, 600mm would do it no problem. But with slugs you might not get to choose the exact weight slug the rifle likes. The 600 has to work harder and will result in more turbulent air leaving with the slug. Nothing like a 500mm, but when you go slug it stresses the rifle more.
I like shooting rifles that are in a nice comfortable zone and not being pushed hard.

I have the Uragan 1 in .25, which I believe is is a 570mm Barrel length, added a huma regulator and have no problem shooting 29 grain slugs in the 920's, without straining the gun... Unfortunately have no personal experience with the 2 in 600mm, but love my Uragan.

I have a .22 uragan 1 and the barrel is a bit shorter than the U2 600mm . Mine could shoot without effort 25gr knockouts in .216 in the 970fps with the huma regulator.. U2 has more plenum space so the 600mm should be good for at least 28gr to 30gr at the same 970fps. With a little bit of tuning.

I have not found yer a way to justify buying a Uragan 2 over the Vulcan 3.

Vulcan 3 is a marvel !!!

I had a vulcan 3 with the depinger + another rubber bushing on the tube.. and if you are shooting in a quiet place .. the ping is the most annoying thing I have had in a gun I simply hate it.. so much that I sold the gun cheaper just to have it out .. n I simply would never buy another vulcan..especially if they continue to use such thin barrels.. I have a few friends with vulcan 3 all have sold them. Because they can't stand the ping right in you ear .. they are good rifles bu by no means I would consider the vulcan 3 a Marvel.. mine was a 500mm and it would not group at 90y no matter what I use or speed i use it simply suck .. the same for the 2 uragan 1 in .25 the worse 2 - 25 cal guns I have ever purchased poi was so bad that it changed .every time a different scope was used.. I kept the other 3 -.177 .22 .30 those shots flawless after some work..

I have to agree about the V3. It's one of the most accurate and robust airguns I've owned. I would like to add the U2 just to have a smaller tube rifle from AGT in the stable .

I have a 700 mm in .30 Cal, another 700 mm in .25 and a 500 mm in .177.

In my self scale, they are rated as among the must accurate and also the must reliable. The .177 with a moderator is extremely quiet.

The .30 Cal has gave me a wild turkey and a white tailed deer.

The .25 and the .177 have gave me birds at 190 yards.

They are quiet guns especially with a moderator that is why the ping or twank in the ear is absolutely annoying..more annoying that a bulldog ping.. but at least the bulldog is a power house so is understandable.. but my 308 bulldog with a depinger at 265fpe was completely quiet to my ear.. the ping obviously..because the shot was loud.
