I'm taking a survey.
Which would YOU choose?
Vulcan3 or Uragan2 in Compact, 600mm, X 700mm barrel? Wood or synthetic?

I’ve considered the u2 compact many times. Shorter light weight guns seem to be my jam. I walk my dog in the woods at least a mile or so a day. I always carry a airgun with me. U2 compact seems to check most of the boxes for a “Woods Walker”. Looks real good too

Why no 500mm barrel choice ?
I'd thought about buying version 3... but is it really...worth $400+ over the version 2 ?
And yes, I have both version 1 and version 2 .

600mm red laminate
18.13 grain JSB at average 998 FPS. Unbelievably under 1/2 at 50+ yards. Only when calm.

That questions is gonna be for you to find out, as everyone has different standards. But given that it has a better regulator, better trigger that is easier to adjust, the breach throat is wider, the compact is 400mm rather than 360mm, and longer picatiny rail on top. I would think all of these things would make the extra $400 worth it.
@greenbeans you have the 600mm right?

Same here. I didn’t care for bull pups for a long time …..then I picked up an older FX Wildcat in their soft touch synthetic stock
I freaking love it. I’m big on wood but there are some great synthetics out there.
I have several bull pups now.

Do you care what it weighs. I've seen the 700 Vulcan do great shots that I've seen 600 Uragan to do great shots they're both heavy.
I have a cricket which is a heck of a gun but just like all the caliber guns and all the checks they're not fit to stalking out they're a bencher

Correct! 600mm and loving it!! It’s uber consistent when you get the hammer where you want it. Mine’s set to shoot 22 and 18gr (unsorted AEA):
And it’s freaking accurate… 18 and 22 at 70y (the “flyer” was me pulling the shot…):

I just received my U3 Compact Thursday. Tack driver and consistent velocity but sounds like it’s over hammered out of the box. Shooting FX 18.1’s at 886, only getting three mags (36 shots) per fill. Does this sound right to anybody else? Haven’t had a moment to back out the hs screw but hoping it’ll yield more shots and sound better. My WCMKIII was getting over 50 (same speed) with a smaller air capacity and only a 230 bar fill. But it did have 100mm more runway. I’ll post with an update after adjusting the hs tension. Oh and the synthetic version U3 comes with a metal handguard.
Also have the U2 .30 600mm. It’s just as good! 54 shots per fill. 1 MOA at 100 with NSA 49.5gr at 887fps factory tune. The compact U3 .22 unmoderated sounds just as loud as the U2 .30 unmoderated, just snappier so I think it’s getting too much air before the valve closes.

I want to say no given that it has a longer barrel then the U2 and better regulator. You remember the kind of shots you were getting with 18gr at 840fps with the U2 compact. What is the regulator set to?

And 40cc more air capacity on the U3. I haven’t run it off the reg yet but from 280 to 150 bar is two mags. So I figured a third mag at most until it’s off the reg. I’ll try to find time when I get off work to run another and see where it falls off. No info out yet as to what the reg is set at from the factory, that I’ve seen. And the U2 compact sounded happy. This one does not.

I'm a little lost, your regulators should not be set higher than 120b, maybe 125b. If you remember, every 25ish bar on the regulator increase or decrease is a gain or loss of about 60fps. For my U2 compact when I git it from @Scott.t the reg came set at 105b pushing 15.89gr at 860-865fps. I brought it down to 83b and it's doing 798-801fps. At 860fps the 18.13gr were going 815-820. So I don't see why your reg is set to 150b, I should be around 130max for those speeds. Specially since you have a longer barrel and better regulator.

Your valve also may need adjustment, btw you can only go so far back on the hammer spring adjustment before you can no longer fit the gun back in the stock. Unless they recessed the back interior of the stock..
