Logun .22 S-16 EVO
Any thoughts or comments about this rifle? Reviews on the other side of the pond says “Edwards” has taken over production and corrected it’s flaws and owners seem to be pleased. It originally had a “squeeze bolt” that was straight, and you squeezed a built-in lever before cocking. Lot of jams apparently. Edwards put a regular bolt in.
I believe this must be an old Pyramydair.com page, because only the magazines show up on a “search” on the current website.

U.S. cost was indicated at $1095, English was 750 Pound Sterling. FPS @950 in .22 caliber, and I suspect that would be 16 gr. 38″ long and around 8.0 lb w/o scope, etc.
It kind of looks like an AF made out of heavier materials and perhaps a step or two up the food chain. With a 16 shot dual clip, and a picatinny rail on one side, it’s not a bad looking piece of equipment.

There appear to be some Logun S-16’s for sale, used, here and there.
The new “EB XVI EVO”, as it is now named, isn’t to be found on this side of the Atlantic. It appears to be a solid English product, made mostly in 12 fpe, but available in FAC for those so inclined. It is not regulated…why is that? Are regulators that expensive to add? Still, that 400cc bottle is claimed to give up to 100 shots at FAC levels. If it had an Edgun regulator in it, you’d be shooting that thing all summer on one fill.
Anyway…it is reviewed as being intelligently modified, solid, heavy, and said to be a nice piece of kit. I like the way it breaks down. Quiet and 950 fps is a solid factor as well.
It IS what an AF should have been, and for just a few bucks more.
OH….One more thing fellow forum modifiers….the Crosman Prod now comes in a “Performance” version at 750 fps for only $568.00 USD. Let’s see, I drilled out my transfer port for free and sent GMAC $12.00 for a spring that brought mine up to near 800 fps. Hmmmmm…someone has been reading our posts behind our backs. Jim Gaska better get a patent on that butt stock adapter he makes….
Oh well….

I have 2 S-16 and they are quiet. One I put a 21″ barrel on and extended the shroud. Shoots 18.1 JSB’s in the 950 fps and 15.9 at 1010 fps.
Cobra airguns had one for sale a while back.
What I found was L750 and $1095 USD for price. That is kind of stiff, but might be worth it if the rifle tests out to be a shooter and holds up over time.
Also, found out it is now called the “EB XVI” (Edgar Brothers XVI) Made at the same factory as in its Logun days, but with nine improvements internally.

The gun is pretty popular here in the UK because of its tactical look. The MK1 and MK2 had problems where people werent fully cycling the bolt and ended up double feeding or causing jams. Also they were prone to leaky o-rings.
Edgar Brothers makes it now I think with full rails etc, it looks really good but I’m pretty sure that it comes with a hefty price tag.
Check out this video of the newest version
I think that the earlier models might be an alright choice if you are aware of the probelms, I was considering one a while ago, also might pick myself up one sometime and have a tinker with it since they are pretty cheap over here in the UK second hand

One of it’s neater features was the air bottle came off, the two piece shroud/moderator came off and the whole thing fit into a rather small carry case. It has built-in sling swivels, and an OEM available bipod.
I also understood it was/is extremely quiet.
However, I don’t believe anyone is selling the current model here in the Colonies.

I have heard both good and bad about it. Hold sensitive is the biggest complaint I had heard about.
I had a Sweet 16 back when, Logun that is
The thing was a tank, heavy as hell
had a built in LDC, shot pretty damn nice
If you het a semi, make sure to have lots of
ammo on hand, it goes away quick

I lost out on buying one, but someone contacted me and we made the deal. Now I will have one, and will find out if I’ve got a good one. These are said to be built like tanks (I’ve read that all over the web), and need to be cocked firmly to prevent jamming. I bought it because I wanted power, accuracy , and quiet, plus something a bit different than I’m used to seeing at airgun meets. I like the quirky things in life sometimes. Here’s hoping.
I’ll appreciate any owner feedback on these, especially where to get it serviced if need be. I read about the EB XVI, it’s a fine piece, but only in non-FAC as far as I was told by Pomona Airguns. Price is $1300.00 and they are looking for someone to volunteer their rifle for power-tuning experimentation. I was told that too. So it was too rich for my blood. I found a used S16, and will hope for the best. It comes with a seal kit.
