IT’S A TARGET RIFLE SPOCK, BUT NOT AS WE KNOW IT

I remember reading Mat Manning’s review of the Airgun Technology Vulcan 2 semi-bullpup rifle in issue 117 of our magazine, and wondering if this gun would be capable of producing target-standard accuracy. Mat certainly seemed impressed with the gun’s ability to drop individual pellets on top of one another at 30 metres.

For those of us more used to traditional target rifles that in most cases morphed from German 10 Metre guns, the thought of using a different configuration often leads to negative thoughts, as the bullpup layout does appear alien to those of us used to long guns with a traditional layout.

Just because a gun does not resemble what we would normally associate with either indoor or outdoor target shooting, it does not mean that its different stock layout precludes it from success.
