    I also have the .177 Kral bullpup and I'm having the same problems as you. If you do manage to adjust the trigger I would be interested to know how as there seems only to be a singe Allen screw which didn't seem to do anything. Regarding accuracy, I have cleaned the barrel several times but to date have only tried JSB Exact 8.44gr doing an average of 787fps with a 6fps spread over 14 shots - no problem with that. Being of a certain age outside temperatures are prohibiting further testing. I have been in contact with Dave Robinson at Range Right who tells me that they have been re-crowning the barrels on some rifles which has helped accuracy although the crown on mine looks OK. However it only needs to be a fraction out of true to cause the shot spread. I too have the single shot tray to try.
    I notice we are only 5 miles apart.

    Cheers, Phil

    I'm sorry you've had to return the kral. My club mate gave up with his magazine and uses a single shot loader, his valve went faulty, his power was just over 10fpe. If something sounds too good to be true, it usually is! On a up side for budget bullpup, I love my smk shorty accurate upto 50yards, faultless mag, once you get into a system cocking it it works well. Very very well made, titanium cylinder and regulated.

    I had the same problem with accuracy on my Kral a while back. Mags kept failing with the spring tensioner coming loose as well. I got rid!

    Sounds like your power/ consistency is spot there mate but like you say that doesn't gaurentee accuracy if the barrel is off.

    Mines back now having the power turned up and hopefully the barrel sorted.

    A mate up at the club reckons he can tune the trigger so will keep you posted but if you are only in prestwood why don't you pop over to wend over rifle club and have a plink.

    Whitester we all know you cant hit a barn dooor until you've had 4 coffees and 2 ciggys. Did you tell the guy in the shop that before returning the gun?

    Pop over to Wendover for a plink

    Hi Whitester, I'm a member of Wendover Rifle Club the .22LR version, have been since 1980 so have access to the Morris Range. However, If you know someone who can fettle the trigger I would be very interested. As mentioned above this weather has halted the pellet testing in the back garden but it looks like it might be a bit warmer on Sunday. My BSA R10 and Huntsman Regal are very accurate with JSB Exact Heavy so I will try those next. I have yet to try the single shot pellet tray, but a singe shot multi shot rifle is pretty useless. You are probably aware that if you contact Range Right they will send you one FOC. For some unknown reason they sent me two so if you know someone who wants one let me know.

    Cheers, Phil

    Kral going back to Range Right again on Monday. For the second time the pellet probe is not retracting fully. Also going to ask for the barrel to be re-crowned to see if it improves accuracy. If it's still not right when it returns it'a going back permanently. It's a shame because as above the power and shot to shot consistency is excellent.

    Cheers, Phil

    Wondered if you have seen this. http://sureshot-airguns.co.uk/kozak-pcp-bull-pup ? Barrel close to air cylinder, height adjustable cheek piece, biathlon cocking lever, reasonably priced. Might be a perfect replacement!

    I hate to say it, but your probably end up returning it for a refund!
    The .177 barrels on the new models are awful! I was a member of the Kral FB group, and saw it time and time again, some people trying allsorts to get them to shoot right, and others who had returned there guns 5 times, and came back the same!

    On another note, the .22 seem to be very good, I had one myself, accuracy and trigger where very good out the box, but it was making 9.4 ftlbs.
    I decided to rectify this myself, yes there are 3 anti tampers on there, one being an helicoil you have to remove and replace if you want to get to the HST.

    Having 2 crickets I hardly used the Kral, so decided to sell, took me a number of months to find a buyer, and at a knock down price due to the bad reputation the .177 has, they are all getting tarred with the same brush!

    John

    Well the Kral has been with Range Right nearly three weeks now, wonder if they're fitting a nice Walther or CZ barrel - no probably not. Seems to be taking a long time though!

    Mine was away for two weeks but three weeks sound like too long.

    In saying that maybe they are spending more time to get them right, fingers crossed for you mate.
