    Thought I'd add my tuppence worth to this thread now I've had my Vulcan a month or so.

    I got mine from Krale, took about six days including a weekend and a strike in France, so pretty impressive.

    Arrived in a plastic carry case, in a box, in another box, with 200 bar in the cylinder

    I've had a cricket but really didn't like the cocking lever being behind your lug 'ole. The forward cocking lever is what made this rifle appeal to me, that and the fact it is far and away the best looking bullpup on the market!

    I thought I'd like left handed cocking being a right handed shooter, but in fact after experimenting, I've got the cocking lever on the right, keeping my left hand under the butt when shooting from a bipod. This means only minimal arm movement to cock the gun after a shot ready for the next one.

    The gun is silly accurate as most good modern PCPs are and will one hole group at 25 yards which is as long as I can shoot in my back garden. Over the chrono, I've not witnessed more than a 2 or 3 FPS spread over a magazine. I've not tried it at 250 bar down to 100 bar but will do in due course. I'm using AA Diablo field 4.52, not bothered trying anything else as there seems no point.

    I think a drawback of bull pups is difficulty in holding a consistant head position, for me anyway. I have a pulsar n870 mounted on it. Being a dedicated digital NV set up, head position isn't critical as there is no parrallax error

    It seems heavy at first. In fact it is a lightweight but seems heavy due to its compact size.

    It also seems a bit 'twangy'. This may be down to my ear being so close to the action, I may be able to tune this a little once my confidence in servicing it grows a bit.

    The cocking felt a little rough out of the box. A very basic strip, clean and lube improved this somewhat, but it probably needs a few hundred firing cycles to settle it down a bit.

    Mags are spring loaded and were a little fiddly to load, certainly in .177, but once you get used to them, they're fine.

    Shot count is high. Don't know how high yet as I tend to go out, check zero and shoot a few rabbits, but I've only filled it once, and then only to 200 bar as that's all that's left in my fill cylinder, though it can be filled to 250 bar.

    This gun is .177 and is currently mainly used for rabbiting on my local golf course. As an aside, having not used the girls calibre for rabbiting before, I can highly recommend it!

    The only bad thing I can see is the guns complexity. It comes with an exploded diagram that makes the gun look very complicated and with no service agent in the UK (that I know of) and not much information yet on the net, if it does go wrong, then it might be an issue. I can strip an rebuild my Rapids and FXs in minutes. This will take a little longer but till it needs it, I'll leave it alone.

    Whether you think you can or think you can't, you're probably right.

    Have done a few mods to it as the bolt was small so put a bigger one on it
    but as for shooting its a dream and being you can change the bolt from Left to Right, thats a big plus for me
    think all was said in the OP's section
    Is that the standard stock, its very nice, in fact the whole thing is very nice..

    [QUOTE=CORKY.;6681381]The Vulcan is supplied in a plastic hard case with egg box foam, and four slider catches, it's length suits the 26 inch length of the Vulcan.

    How long is the gun with the mod off.

    Red face the new vulcan is availible through pellpax here in the uk

    booklet, with good diagrams , computer generated pictures, that look better than photos , and an exploded parts diagram. The moderator simply unscrews, hand tight, revealing the rifled 450mm barrel , which is same length in all calibres. Instructions for changing the bolt from left to right are clear. Unscrew the bolt, if it's tight, remove the O ring on the handle, there is a hidden hole for a tommy bar. Then remove the four screw on each side plate. Swap them over and replace the bolt handle, looks simple. After a lifetime of shooting right handed, with a right bolt, I thought I would give the left bolt a try, it's perfect, it's staying. The Vulcan w/o the scope is easy to hold with my usual right hand on the pistol grip, and using the left bolt is natural. Who says you can't teach an old dog new tricks. I will have to wait and see if the addition of a scope upsets the balance and weight. The Vulcan is available in ,177, 13 pellet mag .22, 11 pellet mag, and .25, 9 pellet mag. You get more pellets in the magazine as the calibre decreases. Initial fill pressure is suggested as 250 bar, I have been used to filling to 220, so will probably stick with that, not bothered about shots per fill. Suggested minimum is 90bar for .177, 120 for .22, and 150 for .25. A range of 220/120 will be easy for me to remember, and what I have been using on other rifles. Importantly, the Vulcan comes as standard with a regulator. Whilst I have changed my thinking on barrel length and bullpups, I haven't changed it on barrel rifling, the Vulcan is rifled. Overall weight is 2.9kg. I could not find any advertisements for the Vulcan, nor could I find a UK supplier. Recommendation was word of mouth. Mine came from KRALE in Netherlands, totally hassle free. Packed in supplied hard case, inside a cardboard box, inside a cardboard sleeve, inside a further cardboard box. I am not really computer literate, and could not send email ID, I posted it, for £1. I had to go to my bank for the bank transfer, they charged me £10 for that and currency conversion. I think KRALE accept debit cards, and I have heard.. credit cards. Delivery ( yes delivery to my door) was only 13.50 Euros. TOTAL cost £1,114. KRALE website and ordering form has an English version, and if you need to phone, they speak perfect English. Don't forget, when comparing prices with other bullpups, the Vulcan comes with hard case and useful extras. I remain impressed with the design , value and quality of the Vulcan. Roll on the arrival of a 'scope, and some real testing. As I wrote earlier, I am not a computer whizz, so haven't learned links yet but there is a non English video or two from Sniperqty
    the new vulcan and the vulcan tacticle are avalible through pellpex here in the uk
