I own a RAW HM1000x in .22cal that shoots very well, but I'm thinking about another 50yd .22cal PCP that will keep up with it just for fun. I've seen great reviews on FX Impact and Crown, Epic Two, BRK Ghost and Taipan Vet 2. I want accuracy but also something I can take pride in as far as quality and ownership. I like to fine tune at the range for ultimate accuracy with the right pellet. What do you guys think?
Other Most accurate 50yd PCP airgun shooting .22cal pellets
- Thread starter Dextrose
- Start date
Of the ones you mentioned, I would choose the Ghost. Franklink has a bunch of excellent posts going int detial how great this rig is.

They’re are lots PCP guns that can do well at 50yards -
For me, I do like Air Arms guns. Especially for pride in ownership quality, I believe they make one of the nicest PCPs if you are looking for Quality - very nice blueing of metal and their stocks generally have nicer wood than others - not to mention super Accurate-
Air Arms guns are definitely going to what your looking for as Pride in ownership of Quality rifle. My old AA410 Extra FAC is still my favorite PCP out of all I own.

The Krait looks nice and reviews very well. These Czech airguns seem to do as well as LW barreled guns.

My Vet 1 Standard and Maverick will shoot 1/2" groups and under if I do my part at 50y . Both in .22 cal .

I have no experience with the Epic Two…
As far as the others that you list…
Considering these 3 key areas of criteria:
1 Build robustness, simplicity, smoothness of operation
2 Barrel
3 Trigger
I’d recommend the .22 Taipan Vet 2 550mm
KEY POINT for you: As you are coming from a RAW trigger, I think you might be a bit shocked by the triggers on most of the guns you list. You will need to do work on them. The Taipan’s trigger is the exception, you can simply turn and 1st and 2nd stage adjustment screws to your liking and you will like it.
I have first hand experience with all the rifles you list except the Epic. I currently own two Crowns and a .22 Taipan Vet 2… I ain’t guessing, I know.

I own a Tiapan Vet 2 in .22 cal. It is a laser at 50 yards . Plus it shoots 25.4 GR pellets @ 900 fps . It puts out the same energy as my .25 cal Vulcans.
I've never read about anyone regretting buying a Tiapan.

Under $700 from Krale
Will easily play with guns 2-3 times its price.
Adjustments, plenum, bullpup
If you could find one, one of the great rifles ever, FX Bobcat. No, you cannot have mine

The rifles you mentioned are all accurate but none are consistent.
You need consistent accuracy from a rifle in order to develop precision.
My two M3 Impacts, my USFT, and my RAW HM1000X have never been as consistently accurate and thus as precise as my Thomas BR.
The quality of a rifle is intrinsic to the consistant accuracy of that rifle, which in turn, is intrinsic to a precision marksman which brings pride in both ownership and accomplishment.
Order a Thomas.

Adjustability on the fly? Ghost. Set and forget? Taipan. Both will shoot great at 50y (and beyond).
