- Thread starter msg1979
- Start date
Faaar too early to say much about it...
I remain skeptical for the time being. Im not the biggest fan of the looks, but I've seen much worse. Im curious what kind of power we're talking about here. Im guessing something similar to a Huben K1.

This will probably go through Edgun West. Maybe another U.S. Patent and be made in the U.S. I'll sit this one out and watch from the side lines. I was an early adopter of the L2 when it first came out. Now, there's so many revisions that were made that I can't keep up.

I absolutely love the look. Okay I hate the red so one can hope...
Power level hasn't been anything to brag about on L2. Maybe they have done their home work. I will be on the lookout for this rifle!

So many new airguns have been coming out to suited PRS and bench shooting. I personally am more into pest shooting with light weight and compact. airguns. I like the looks of this rifle with the more rounded features that won't poke you and catch on things. I do want in my pesting rifles to have larger capacity magazines and good shot count per fill, say of 50 or more shots. The Fenix seems to be lacking in the shot count aspect and while the magazines only appear to be 10 shot the rifle the ability to store two magazines onboard is a good offset. While semi-auto is good for quick and high volume pesting I don't like the safety aspect a of round always ready to fire. It would be nice to have manual load/ semi-auto feature built into this rifle. I really like the build quality of the Edguns and look forward to some English reviews of the Fenix.

I like the looks except for the pseudo thumbhole stock. I've always hated thumbhole stocks. But, it's an edgun and I'm probably going to "need" one. No hurry though, I'll wait for customer reviews and the correction of any early issues.
Also, either this isn't coming out for quite a while, or it was designed with very little publicity. Not at all the way the L2 was built up, etc.

If you go to the link the OP posted , it'll show you the wait times for each caliber setup , but also the compact version won't be out for another year.

Minor correction - those are the "quoted" lead times... I refer you again to the L2 build up.

My Dedal Stalker scope would be pretty cool on one of these. I'd like to see the front pic rail removable.

Strange...it looks really cheap. Like a Stoeger XM1...but I know it's not. Very intersting.

Cool Bullpup but they’re wrong about one thing:
“Innovative: The FENIX is the first PCP air rifle to incorporate the air reservoir above the barrel, optimizing balance and stability during shooting.”
The first pcp rifle with the airtube over the barrel was the Lobo Mustang.
Having an *air cylinder over the bore has its benefits. 1) Puts the magazine on the bottom of the action. 2) Makes the rifle look better.
The downside is the scope will be further away from the bore. Not so bad on the Mustang but on a Bullpup it’s twice as bad. Due to the scope mount already being high above the bore on a Bullpup.

Bore offset is less of an issue with modern ballistic solvers, but that’s more of a PB thing. Most people using airguns aren’t lasering and dialing for every shot like we are with precision long-range rifles, so the offset’s still a big deal when moving between 10y and 100y shots on small game, etc. It’ll be interesting to see how it pans out!

Personally (and I’m sure I’m in the minority here), I think a set of ScalarWorks iron sights would look and work great on it, and I think it looks pretty good. Definitely a modern “space-age” look, but not as funky as a lot of chassis-type airguns these days. I’m intrigued, but at $2000 it’s well out of my budget unless I sell most of what I have to upgrade and I’m not interested in doing that right now. Additionally, I’m not an early adopter of anything these days, so I’ll let others play Beta tester first.
I do like EDguns though, so I hope it’s a winner!Upvote 0
When the guy removed the stock cover and I saw the engineering gizmos underneath - I immediately fell in luve with it...
Imagine when people start "customizing" five minutes after receiving it
