A.T. Uragan 30 cal

I've spent quiet some time trying to figure out what 30 cal air rifle I wanted.  My top choice was the RAW (Rapid Air Weapons) 30 caliber.  And after a year or so thinking it over, I wanted something just a little different than my normal since I owned a Theoben Rapid 25 previously.  I wanted something I was NOT familiar with and something no one or not too many people owned.  Something that wasn't so public.  After scouring the internet for 30 cal air rifles, I ran acrossed the Airgun Technologies URAGAN 30 cal.  Hmmmmm, I thought, I'm interested.  The rifle is actually a semi bull pup that is carbon fiber bottled and features a side cocking lever.  Ok, now i'm paying attention.  WHY?  Again, i wanted something different than my norm which includes full sized or even over-sized airguns and something not too many people owned.

As far as "different", this rifle fits the bill

DETAILS:
50 shots
85 FPE factory setting
2-9 shot magazines
Shrouded barrel
Regulated
32" OAL
530cc CF Air Reservoir
300 bar fill
22.5" CZ barrel
2 Stage Adjustable trigger
7.7 lbs weight
Side lever cocking (left or right side)
Adjustable butt pad
Picatinny Scope Rail
Pressure Gauge (no regulated pressure gauge)

For Glass, I choose the Discovery Optics VT Series of scopes in 30mm.  For Scope Rings, I prefer the adjustable Eagle Vision brand

The Discovery 4-16x50mm SVFP FFP installed.  Scope may change in the future

INITIAL PERFORMANCE:  After filling the rifle to its recommended 300 bar and installing the scope, it was time to see if the gun truly got 50 shots at 85 FPE. The pellets of choice are the JSB 44.75 grs Diabolos.  1st shot was 913 fps and the 51st shot was 916 fps.  That's 82-83 FPE which honestly is, CLOSE ENOUGH.  I actually shot 4 more shots for a total of 55 shots before the Uragan fell off the reg.  Factory claims are spot on and to be honest, I never expect them to be exact.  Testing in the Czech Republic is going to be a little different than testing here in the States.  But for me to get 83 fpe out of a claimed 85 fpe is hardly worth nitpicking.  When testing certain NSA slugs, i saw exactly 85 FPE on a couple of weights.  This tells me that Airgun Technologies has done very well in the design and claim numbers.  Initial groups at 60 yards came in at .410" CtC and .6" Ctc with 44.75 and 50.15 gr Pellets respectively.  We are off to a good start and don't worry, accuracy and slug testing will be the focus of my next post on the AT Uragan. 

STAY TUNED!
