Edgun R5M. 25 long accuracy

[Smilewiper]

I'm new to agn been shooting pcp air rifles for about 4 years started off with a Benjamin marauder. 22,that led to a kral puncher jumbo. 22,fx wildcatmk1. 25 and a kalibrgun cricket .22 and now a edgun r5m long .25 which has turned out to exceed my expectations in accuracy, but at first it was not shooting so great,done a little research here and decided to check the torque on the barrel and problem solved, mine was 25+lbs backed it down 10lbs and shooting JSB .25.4 @ 920 fps lights out at 50 yrds 2 five shot groups in pic !

Aloha Smilewiper,

Very nice groups. I have a R5M long, Lelya 2.0, and a Leshiy gen 2 all in .25 cal. I can't get over how well built they are. Also if I have questions Brian at Edgun West always helps me out. Glad to see it exceeded your expectation. 

Aloha, 

Keone

That's some good info to know. Now I just need to order a 1/2" drive 12mm hex bit from Amazon or order a complete set. I already have the torque wrench. 

+1 to you sir.
