I received my .25 caliber Vulcan yesterday, it came double boxed and a hard case very nice shipping. I opened up the hard case there was: the manual, hose, stickers from Talon tunes, a fill probe, two 9 shot mags, 5 shot group at 30 yards which was about one hole, chrony string, and of course the gun. The gun has a Turkish walnut stock that is very beautiful I've heard of people not being able to see the wood grain but on mine you can it looks very nice. I've shot the gun quite a bit since i first got it and i think it's pretty much broken in: the bolt has smoothed out some, it feeds the pellets a bit better, and one thing i did notice when the gun had finally broken in was the ping from the hammer hitting the valve has either gotten to be a longer or louder sound but still it's not to bad. The barrel length is 450mm or 17.7 in. It is also shrouded an let me tell you that shroud helps a bunch! i took the shroud off and shot it once and i quickly put it back on, definitely louder than a .22 lr without the shroud. So i took the gun outside sited it in with the Simmons whitetail 6.5-20 (just a scope i had available) and it took about 8 shots to get it sited in very easy then i proceeded to do a nine shot group in the center that was one big hole and this was just resting off of a couple of pillows. Then i stretched it out to 55 yards and it did pretty much the same thing with nine shots except for one stray but that was my fault, it was definitely under a half inch. I brought the gun in side measured the scope height to 2.11 inches typed it in to the ballistic software with all the other information took it back out side to a hundred yards, it said four mil dot of hold so standing up resting on a fence post i picked out this twig i saw and pulled the trigger and the twig just broke in half, so i thought maybe that was just a lucky shot reloaded picked out another twig and snapped that one! I haven't done any groups at a hundred yards with it yet but i have a feeling this thing is going to be good i didn't even clean the barrel yet. (forgot to mention this is with the JSB 25 grn's). Today i brought it to the farm and shot 36 birds in total and my longest shot was around 85 yards just about every time i pulled the trigger a bird went down this is not what it was like with my Disco i could also get about 4 nine shot mag's off before it got down to 140 bar. Also i was surprised to see the trigger was plastic it's a sturdy plastic and i don't think you have to worry about it braking, i don't have any thing to measure the pull wait but it's lite. And sorry guys i don't have a chronograph so judging from the string Talon tunes gave me it should be shooting at about 920 fps. If you have any questions don't hesitate to ask because I'm not sure if I've covered everything.
Here are some pics, enjoy:
25 yard group resting off pillows. It did about the same at 50.
fill port
here is a picture of the magazine fitting flush into the chamber how it should be.
here is a picture of the magazine in the chamber how it shouldn't be notice how it is not perfectly flush, that will make you have alot of trouble sliding the bolt forward it's not to big of a deal but just one little thing i notice, just make sure you keep it flush.
chrony string
the in the de-cocked position.
the gun in the cocked position
some of the pictures aren't very good sorry for that. I took alot of pictures because i new i wanted alot of pictures when i didn't have my gun.
