EDgun or FX

jp, I'm liking the forward cocking lever. I will hopefully get some trigger time over the next day or so to really try it out.

Great choice. Looks like a nice stock too. Is it the standard or long version? Can you let us know what power its producing, I'm assuming you went for a .25?

Look forward to seeing how it shoots. Apparently they like polymags? Great choice on the scope too. Looks just about perfect on there.

Looking forward to reading about it - congrats again!

Some numbers here to look at, I'm thinking I'll be mainly using the Jsb 25.40. My range is 50yrds at this time but, have plenty of room to extend this to find the limit of my ability. Really enjoying the rifle.

 

[melvyn]

A random 50yrd group, not up to the standard of some on here, but it's a start.

 

[Swami]

Great shooting! Respectable looking consistency on those number to in the 25 grain

 

[wyshadow]

Good choice. I guess either way would have still been a good choice. You got the gun quick. Did you pick the gun up in person?

 

[Hampton]

Congrats, looks real nice! Where is that cheek pad from?

 

[melvyn]

The cheek pad came with the gun.

Congrats on joining the R5M club! Crazy simple to work on and built like a tank. I will say there is something to what Ed says as far as cleaning and shooting. I have a Leshiy and R5M in .25 and both seem to get more and more accurate the more I shoot them. Mine is a tact drive with polymags so far 40 yrds. I was shooting flies the other day at 30 yrds with ease.

Great choice , id do the same...

 

[Szperu]

From these two i would choose... AGT Uragan

I have a question to the EDgun club... Do you guys use LDC on the R5M? Is it needed?

 

[hitech]

Very NICE! Great choice.

was not needed for me and I have very close neighbors

 

[sigp220]

I did pick up a LDC for mine now the hammer spring is louder. It's a .25 set hot. Probably not needed, just wanted the added reduction.

I have one FX rifle. It's a wildcat first generation in 25 caliber. I also have two Edguns. One is a R5 super long in 30 caliber in the other one is a leshiy and I have a .177 .22 and .25 barrel for it. I love the wild cat but I love the Ed guns more. Easier to work on they shoot harder and get a better shot count out of the box. Except for the last she it's got an awful small air tube on itocki

He asked about Impact not Wildcat. There is a big difference. Impact is more powerful and has a better shot count. Shot both, after about 50 shots with R5M in. 25 my hand starts to hurt, cocking is hard and unpleasant. About accuracy, check Extreme Benchrest results, no Edgun there. Theyre built like a tank, everything else is inferior to Impact.

actually according to the title it was Edgun vs FX. The statement I made was in general as was the title. I own one fx & 2 edguns, next rifle will be another edgun. Just a general statement, no need to get your panties all bunched up.
