Airgun Technologies Vixen 2 short .22

[Silent shot]

I got Vixen 2 short .22 caliber.

Here is some pictures, measures and etc. If those also help some one else.

It feels nice and shoot well.
Pistol grip feels hard and slippery, so i need to chance better one.

I try keep it light and make it more silent.

It shoot little to loud.
Now it has huma ait MOD40-4/0 Avalanche with extra modul + felt.

It would need adjust to shoot little lower speed.

This is how it shoot out of box.
300bar to about 100bar 46 shot.
Jsb hades 15.89gr .22

Huma-air moderator is borrowed for uragan 3.
Scope is also for borrowed another gun.

That is too bad that the sound was high - I remember when the Vixens first came out how effective their big shrouds were. But - you have taken care of any noise issues. I really like the effectiveness of the Huma-Air moderators.

I guess that the Mk2 Vixens both have a little longer barrels? I think that your muzzle velocity out of the box is excellent! My original Vixen Standard really didn't seem to want to push a 15.89 gr pellet above about 780 fps.

Congratulations on a nice gun.

Vixen 2 discount price was only +106€ more for orginal Vixen, so i had to take it.
Original Vixen would have little shorter with 250mm barrel and Vixen 2 has 310mm barrel.
Longer model barrel is 400mm/500mm.

Power for that original model would be ok for me, but because those upgrade i did choose new model.

For my use i need to get it more silent and that was not big surprice.
So it need some moderator and tunning that speed little lower.

I also like those Huma-air moderators.
They can have also M14x1.25 tread and they are easy to clean or service.
Spare parts are available if need.
Length can also adjust very easy.

Barrel have now carbon fiber cover pipe.

Reg has now turned for little lower power.
Not sure if it still need tune just little more power what it is now.

Hammer adjust in this seems to do very little or feels like it do almost nothing different for fps.

It did give 95 shot for 300-110 bar.
Average 795fps.

Pellet what i shoot is Jsb hades .22 15.89gr.
Best speed for those should be 840-870fps.

It really need new pistol grip and need to choose bitween Ergo tactical or Forma grip.
Never be chance to hold those hand so hard to make final desision.

Uragan 3 and Reximex RP feels very nice for my hand.
My hand is not big and glove size is 9.

Also need to find filler port dust cover.
Strance that they dont come with gun like Uragan 3.
Sure those have different price, but still should come with both.

Scope is also what that would need.
Some point Hikimikro lite was one option and it would be also light.
Now feel like DNT Zulus v2 hd 5-20 is much better option if i really go for digital scope.

That Vixen 2 rail system is not best for those Dnt zulus style optic mout, because magazine will hit that scope mount.
It may need to raise few mm for that rail.

There is black pencil marks were that was before tune.

Nice looking rifle. For the size of the shroud on those seams like a miss being loud. Honestly they should have made it into another air tank. I don't understand the purpose of that size unless it's doing something real special.
