I've got a slot for .25 FAC Air, and shall be going for a Uragan 3. Just not sure where to get it from. Vector Air have quoted me 4 wees waiting time; never dealt with them before.

I would see if edgar bros have 1 in stock? If so then order from you local dealer, i was told by edgar bros, they dont order from agt until they have 200 guns ordered
If you have to go through vector ask them.if they can guarantee a 4 week delivery,??

Vector told me that AGT do them to order for them, and that it takes 4 weeks, but you're dead right, I will ask them if they can guarantee it.
Interestingly, when I asked if it came straight from the factory, set at FAC level, without being interfered with at this end; they told me that all AGT guns leave the factory set at 7 ft/lb., and that Vector then adjust regulator to your requirement.
Don't know if this is true or not, but there may be something in it, although I think whoever I spoke to at Vector may have got their ft/lbs mixed up with there joules. Very many European countries have energy levels for air rifles at 7.5 joules. So I can understand AGT sending them out at a standard power level of 7 joules, as the rest of Europe is a much bigger market than the UK. Maybe

BAR had ordered one for me, i was in the shop when he asked if they had arrived yet, AGT said yes and asked what power i wanted it set to! My gun is about 6 yrs old.Vector told me that AGT do them to order for them, and that it takes 4 weeks, but you're dead right, I will ask them if they can guarantee it.

I don't know it's availability but Kral Puncher Bigmax X standard or carbon models good for slugs.
It's old (first manufacturing going back to 2017 if I remember right), kinda heavy and with a little recoil but with some care can be a good, cheap and powerful rifle. They marketed as most powerful and good barrels for slugs. No regulator, no power knob. Two bottles, 1 in butt. Decent build quality.
I don't have any records from chronos at the moment but I am shooting 37 to 48 grains .25 with it, pretty accurate and impact is devastating. I achieved maximum 250m range with it but I saw people hit things at 600m with it (without tuning, special accessories or pellets).
It's my second powerful rifle, I have an Hercules with LW barrel but it's accuracy and range not great like Bigmax X hence more power. Changed metal bottles with carbons, made weight under 4kgs.
On same platform, I heard same good things from Kral Puncher Bighorn owners.
As far as I know; Kral Bigmax X, Bighorn and Hatsan Hercules series are the most powerful PCP rifles from Turkish gunmakers. But only Bigmax X and Hercules specifically marketed for slug shooting.

It's a bit left field but the Gunpower SSS .25 ?

Here's mine, it's a simple design just two top hats to vary the power range between high and silly and a simple dial up the hammer tension system and Lothar Walther barrel.
Single shot and 40 good shots at top end power but throttle back for more, never found a situation to run at full chat anyway??

Having seen one in the flesh this morning I’d be inclined to suggest a Brocock Ghost with the slug barrel.
Look and feel very well made and engineered. VERY accurate at both 50 & 100m
