Vulcan 2 in .30 cal

[aldea6]

Hello,

I would like to buy a Airgun Technology VULCAN 2 in .30 cal , but I'm a bit afraid about the noise this gun could produce. Of course I'll put a Donny Fl moderator at the muzzle , but I've no idea ( and haven't found a video ) if this gun could be backyard friendly or not. I get a FX Boss in .30 and , with an added moderator, is pretty quiet , regarding its power.

My goal would be to shoot accurately at 100 yards ( what the Boss does very well ) , but with a shorter gun.

Any information will be welcome. Thanks

 Aldea6,

I had a Vulcan2 .30 for a while. It was not backyard friendly at all without a DonnyFl on it; way too loud.

I put a Ronin on mine, and that did the job nicely.

I never shot mine past 50 yards, but it was accurate there. 

Hope this helped.

Like Terryb00 said, it’s loud in stock trim. With a Ronin it is good but adds 6.25 inches. Very accurate guns in my experience. Shot count isn’t so good though.

True that, Derrick, on the shot count. That's the main contributing factor on why I flipped mine. Lucky to get 2 mags, barely, out of it.

I'd personally give an FX Bobcat in .30 a look see.

Very good shot count, and accuracy.

The Vulcan2 .30 cal bullpup is indeed loud and is an airhog. I currently use the DonnyFL Ronin on my Vulcan2 and even then the rifle is not what I consider "backyard-friendly". My neighbors are tolerant of my backyard air gunning, so far, and I don't want to test their tolerance by pushing it to the extreme. Therefore, I restrict my use of the Vulcan2 .30 cal. to the rifle range. 

Tony, at Talon Tunes informed me that the Vulcan2's cylinder can be safely filled to 300 bar. When I fill my gun to 300 bar, I am able to get 3 magazines shot before the velocity is noticeably affected. I assume at that point -- about 155 bar -- the gun is off the regulator. I have a home air-fill station, so this is not an issue for me.

The accuracy of the Vulcan2 .30 cal is quite good. However, the FX Wildcat MkII .30 cal outperforms it in that department.

The Bobcat is a very good suggestion. Love mine in .30 which gets 38-40 shots on a 250 bar fill just like the Boss.

I know my Vulcan 2 … actually the Vulcan Tactic … is extremely loud in .25 cal in the stock configuration … wouldn't EVEN consider it backyard friendly, but the addition of a Sumo on it and it drops down to less than the level of a .25 Wildcat with a Sumo … in other words VERY quiet. Let's face it guys the main attraction of the Vulcans is simply the razor edge accuracy of the guns and the ease of working on them. The .25 will get about 36 shots on a fill which is decent but not fantastic. However, to me, the only thing that makes a gun interesting is the accuracy you can get from it. Nothing in life is more boring and frustrating than a gun that you can't get the kind of accuracy you need and want from. You might as well put it on a stand, wire it up, put a light bulb on top and a lamp shade over it … because that's all it's good for. If your goal is accuracy at 100 yards you are looking at the right gun.

Thank you , guys; I begin to make my mind up. I thought first to buy a Wildcat in .30 , but this one is not available at this time from my gunsmith. I've a Wildcat in .25 ant it's pretty quiet and accurate as well.

So I think , regarding your opinions, that it will be worthwhile to wait a bit and go for a Wildcat Mk II in .30

There not out quite yet but have you looked into the Uragan? Not sure if you like bottles but seems like the ultimate .30 bullpup
