Ordered a new AGT Uragan .25!

Jimmy, you and your Uragan are a great hunting combo for sure! I also just returned from a long range fishing trip and managed 7 YT all @ 50lbs and one YFT and one BFT....hope your fishing was a success!

50lb yellowtail? Where did you go Cedros? That would be the only place I can think of they might get that big.  All my fishing is bass fishing, mostly, but I do jump on sport boats from time to time. Super busy with my Rod Building business too...not much time to fish or hunt! Doh!!

Jimmy, we were on an 8 day and went to Guadalupe Island as we had a permit. We actually went there to wait for the BFT to chew but hit the mother load on these monster YT and picked off a few YFT then went out and got some BFT. Every angler lost more YT than caught even with some using 130lb line. We were the only boat at the island luckily. Glad your rod building is keeping you busy but not keeping you from fishing! LOL!

Man that sounds like an awesome fishing trip! 30lb yellows fight like crazy, can only imagine what a 50lber feels like! Yes, fortunately, my rod building business supports my airgun and fishing addiction, so it's all good.

Guys, this may be a helpful hint.


Load your pics into your computer under Documents rahter than my pictures.


when you hit Attachments and other options at the bottom of the reply or post, it will list areas to look for them. Click on my documents, and open the pic. That is all there is to it.


For whatever reason, if in my pictures, the gate will not accept most types. But from documents, it will. No resizing. Just select.

Lets give this a try...

Knife,

It worked! Awesome! Thanks for that tip!   I created a folder in my documents folder and dropped those two pics in it for testing. Uploaded and no resizing needed.

any more updates on this ? How would you compare it to a Taipan ? I've been looking at the Taipan compact .25 .... obviously better shot count but besides that ?

Dinh, sorry to reply SO LATE! These YT are the chunkiest YT I have ever caught, fat content is crazy! This Island produces fish that are different than anywhere else I have fished...meat color is different, taste different due to fat content, even a commercial fisherman I gave some to knew it came from there after he saw and ate some without me telling him where I caught it! Good hamachi is tough to beat 😉. This island is a white shark haven! Deep blue the largest female WS on record frequents there. The island looks prehistoric.

You're very welcome Jimmy. Lov'n that gun of yours!!!

Try to not to fall overboard there, Randall.

Crickets Jason.  That's all you are going to get:  crickets.  I have Taipans.  Would LOVE to have an Uragan, but:  Months ago I ordered two Uragans because of the long CZ barrel, but quickly cancelled the order, preferring to wait and see until someone posted up some 100 yard groups to see if the Uragan's extra CZ barrel length awarded tighter benchrest groups.  I'm still waiting for the owners of Uragans to proudly report their superiority over the Taipan's shorter CZ barrels.  But, so far, only crickets.  Attestations and pictorial evidence to the Uragan's precision on paper at distance has been conspicuously absent from the forums.  Been checking periodically.  The silence speaks volumes to me.  Sub-minute of pigeon is outstanding, but 5 inside 1.04" at 100 is the proof I'm looking for, and it ain't out there, lest not I can find.

Go with the Taipan for now, if, IF you can find a true ORIGINAL Taipan, one MADE IN THE UKRAINE.  You can always buy a Uragan later, if and when the proof is posted.  I will.  And for what it is worth in considering your possible purchase of a .25 instead of .22 Taipan, my CZ-barreled .22 Long is consistently more accurate that either my LW-barreled .25 Standard or LW .25 Long at any distance, but especially at 100.

I'm not much of a bench shooter, I'm a hunter and that is what I use my airguns for.  If my gun can do a dime size group at 50 yards, I'm good with that and I'll let chairgun do the rest of my testing.  I've never shot for groups at 100, I don't need to.  Here is proof that chairgun works, most of my shooting is from 60-150 yards. I'm shooting nothing but slugs from my Uragan.  Having owned Taipans I can say, both are VERY accurate guns.  If you like shot count like I do, get the URAGAN!

Never a big fan of bottled guns,.


But the Uragan is one of the very few that I really, really like.

[Hobbyman2007]

Yep the Uragan sure checks a lot of the boxes . Pretty sure we’ll never see them here in Canada so I’ll have to drool over my screens.

I love mine. It's accurate, it has high shot count, love the mags and is plenty powerful out the box with slugs.
