My New .22 Bullpup won’t group consistantly.
So I recently got my hands on a . Vulcan Bullpup in .22 cal. I’ve read that most are doing well with 18.13 gr JSBs and to be fair I haven’t tried them yet but they’re on order. I’ve tried several other pellets and can’t seem to keep my POI consistent. Some brands will print 5″ groups (if you can call them groups) at 40 yards and others a little better but certainly not acceptable. I did manage to shoot a couple of 1/2 groups with Crosman wadcutters but then even they started shooting erratically.
It appears that my POI will shift from one shooting session to the next. I’ve tried two different scopes thinking that I may have scope issues but no change. I cleaned the barrel and still no change. Wondering if anyone else has experienced anything similar and if so were you able to correct it?

I’d assume that the trigger is made in the CZech Republic as this is where the Vulcan is made.
Are you sure?

Just the trigger blade is plastic on my bullpup — I think. Its some pretty amazing tough plastic. The safety impinges on it to do its job, but I don’t see the “plastic” wearing there. Would have to scratch it to check if it really plastic.
Which important parts of a trigger group are made of plastic? Have I mised something? The design is far from perfect due to too short shoulders (I am spoiled by match triggers, I know), but I am really curious. WTF is behind that statement “plastic trigger”.
Oh Shit….a plastic trigger? :suprisedn: I think you should imediately ship that gun to me for further inspection! :biggrinn: my 25 cal purchased in June of 2015 shot like a lazer, was sold at $25 loss to get the new and improved gen 2 in October 2015. After shooting 3 or 4 thousand pellets through this one I have a new frame of reference for a gun that shoots like a lazer!! These guns are really incredibly accurate… I’m getting ES of 5 fps over 40 shot string and STD of 2 or less continually :4: :4: . Only thing I’m missing is one in 22 cal. :8: :8: :8:

this is the very first post (that I have seen) that mentions the trigger of a Vulcan Bullpup is made of plastic… the mags too
What’s the country of origin of that trigger?
For the kind of money that they get for one of these guns, they should be ashamed to use plastic anywhere, especially for the trigger.
Thank you so much for raising the issue.
I definitely agree, 110%.. for that kind of money, there is no justification for a serious component made of plastic, especially the trigger.
I am totally caught by surprise with this.
No one has mentioned it before you, I wonder why. Are the rest of Vulcan owners ashamed to tell the world that their accurate prized Vulcan has a plastic trigger, just like a Daisy 953?
Yup. It’s true and I’m the guy over there who’s complaining about it. :rofl:

What is your starting pressure fill for this series?”
Thank you Steeldreams. I think the improvement from first to last magazine was more a matter of me getting warmed up. Starting pressure was 250 bar. I know that some others cringe, as seen above about my methods and I completely understand. I purchased this rife for hunting. I’m not a paper shooter. I’m very satisfied with the results after cleaning my barrel and feeding the rifle these JSB’s. I have no need for more accuracy as it’s already apparent that the gun will out-shoot me all day long.
I just read over the other side that Vulcan has plastic triggers.
Is it really true?
red and that makes for a sure kill zone . Be happy with that .

Agreed Birdman. This is a hunting rifle and as such it’s already proven that it’s more than accurate enough for the type of use that I plan on giving it.
I’ll do some chrony runs with the new pellets and I’ll shoot some more at longer ranges but my original complaint about consistent grouping has been solved.
A big thank you to everyone who lent their advice and experience. :8:

Razor62 , your shooting results at 40 yds. may not be perfect with pellet stacking upon each other , However , all are in the
red and that makes for a sure kill zone . Be happy with that .

When viewing the photos below please keep in mind that I was shooting from a folding bridge table that wobbled like a drunken uncle at an open bar wedding and a 25lb sack of #4 lead shot for a sandbag.
1st magazine 11 shots @ 40 yards
2nd magazine 11 shots at 40 yards
3rd magazine 11 shots @ 40 yards ( My blue collar, grubby index finger included for scale purposes,)
I’ve heard of finicky guns but I never would’ve guessed that the difference could be so extreme. More than satisfied with the Vulcan’s capabilities after witnessing this.

As long as I care, I would be ok even with a trigger blade carved of a wood. Evgeny was to lazy with a backend, sear and shit, thats where he deserves to be kicked on his arse. Everything else is irrelevant and no reason for panic.
