That's the, standard trigger no mods just me working out the feel for it .
I had been snapping it as a way to get better groups but I found it does have a predictable let off tonight it just takes a lot of pressure to get there before you let it break.
So its currently shooting more accurate than my hw35 though its not as good as the rest of my HW springers I used my 99 for the first tine in a while and that's just PCP easy after shooting more challenging springers for a while.
I used to shoot a .22 then follow up with a .177 and the challenge was to not make the holes bigger .
The trigers sure are heavy, but with some technique can be released accurately. In fact they are pretty accurate rifles, and powerful for for their size. Not really a benchrest rifle being a springer but shot sporting style can keep it all there.
Definitely not one for a high mag scope, and taking all day to make the shot. With a good smooth deliberate shooting action then they can deliver.

I think the Vulcan MKI is an important rifle of its time. Completely ignored because they were inexpensive and sold in numbers; nothing sexy about them. But a lot of people had a lot of fun with them. The MKII looked better but added nothing to the basic design nor to the shooting ability. Best bits about the MKI was its small size and it packed a punch.

Mint in box MKI's are rare, because no one gave them any thought. For pure nostalgia they are hard to equal, and for 1970/80's Airgun World with the take up of air rifle shooting then they are the very equal to the HW35 in air rifle shooting sports league of fame. Possibly more so as they got more people involved in the sport being half the price of a HW35e. MKI a thoroughly underrated rifle.

I sold my Telescan scout scopes a few years back. Put one of those on and for a collector then "how very period". Not the best sighting system because of the scope but has merit.
