For the price the Uragan is a better rifle.
The 22 Cal with jsb 25.4 grain redesigned gives everything!!

Emu, Do you have experience with both? I have the Priest 2 in .22 but will probably add a .25 to the collection around the beginning of summer time. Right now the Priest is my only gun, so I have nothing to compare it to.

I do not have the Priest, but I see no way on it to adjust the rifle to face better. I do not see a side lever for cocking. I do not see a solid support for the weather rail. I do not see any kind of proteccion for the air bottle. I see to exposed the Foster for filling. I see to exposed the manometer. I see to simple the rear part of the rifle where the flow of air takes place.
I see the Uragan more solid for long lasting. I see the side lever of the Uragan/Vulcan 2 perfectly functional. I see the reinforcement of the Weaver rail in the Uragan. I see protected the filling hole of the Uragan. I see durable and fuctional the magazine on the Uragan/Vulcan 2.
I known that with the Priest you can switch caliber very easy. I know the Priest is lighter. I know the Priest is accurate. I know the Priest allows easier adjustments in both, regulator and hammer. I know you can disassamble bottle in Priest to carry it on your belt, making easier to sight without a support.
I know both are almost the same price (considering the best version of the Priest).
Taking into consideration all above and that for me an investment of USD 1500 is a lot of money for an air rifle, I am of the idea that a more solid rifle is a better one, a longer lasting , and that easy adjustments causes more troubles.
When I decided among the Uragan and the Priest my decision was for the Uragan and I am very happy with the Uragan. Once I bought the Uragan I do not have any appetite for the Priest.
I never said that the Priest was inaccurate. It has a regulator and a CZ barrel. I have seen reviews showing that it is indeed accurate.

Thanks for your input Emu. The main four guns I will be looking at are the Uragan, Taipan Veteran, JSAR Rapror Mini, and RTI Prophet. But who knows. I think there will be new airgun models introduced at IWA 2020.
