Who Is Getting A New Airgun For Christmas?

I got myself a new something...decided on taking up some 10m shooting this year. New eyeglasses are making iron sights a lot more fun than they have been in a while. My V10 won't be here till Tuesday, can't wait. Wishing everyone the best!

TMH, how do you like the uragan 25 .?

I like it a lot. Had previously gotten a Uragan Compact in .22, and that shot so nicely that I wanted to get a Standard when I found a good enough deal. Thought I might have to wait a little longer, for someone to sell or trade in on a new Vulcan 3 or something. But this one came available at a good price, considering the scope which was on it.

My original experiences with Uragans were a little less than stellar. It was a King in .30 cal. Couldn't hold a group at 50 yards. Sent back to AoA under warranty, and they tried all of their in-house magic but couldn't get any better performance than I was having. Ended up the gun had a defect in the barrel so they had to get a new one from AGT, which took a little bit during COVID. Gun came back shooting fine - but was a challenge to shoot well for me, so I sold it off.

As received my new/used Standard really seems to like Heavies (better than MkII's) and shoots them in the 830's. 25.39's group less well, but it is pushing them out in the 940's. May have had a little clipping as I see the end of the mod has been relieved a bit (looks professionally done). Need to shoot the 25.39's without the mod and see how they group, or maybe just up the power a bit to shoot the Heavies maybe in about the 850's. 

Even though the Uragans (especially the Kings) are not light guns, perhaps the power that my .30 was putting out and the gun's form factor/fit for me just made it more difficult for me to shoot well. I'm not finding that to be the case at all for my .22 Compact or .25 Standard. It might also be that it has been some months since I sold my King, and with a lot more shooting under my belt maybe it just might be that my shooting has also improved.
 
TMH.. maybe the problem was not your shooting skills.. my first 2 uragans were shooting crapy why .. barrels are to thin .. I know it was a harmonics problem because they were doing the same as a 357 evanix I used to have..when the barrel in the evanix gets lose by a bit you can't follow the pellet travel .. you only perceive a stranger movement on the scope.. even my .25 in low power was doing the same as the .30 .. I was about to send it back to .. but decided to tension the barrel before shipping..never to buy one again..tensioning the barrel solved my problem completely..so much I like those uragans I have 3 .. 22 -25 -30 I'm waiting for the. 177 .. is a simple fix .. for my shooting best money spend ever .. if the Vulcan 3 has the same barrel thickness as the uragans you could spect the same problem.

Thanks my .25 uragan ike the 34g knockouts even when still not been powered up .. n the .22 powere tuned likes the 216 knockouts at 960fps..up to 200y + .. this is how I tension my barrel with a pice of pvc pipe but it will look way better with a 3d printed one.. cut the pice only 1/16 longer than the gap n tight the shroud by hand until I can rotate no more.
